Soooooo I got this steel can full of 223 ammo and there isn't any tab or anything to open it with..... How do you guys get in one of these without damaging the ammo inside ?

P-38 or P51?

I was just offered a job with Republic Services at there call center. Now what do I do?

I can either be a Sales & Social Media Marketing Coordinator at $12/hr with no benefits except: One week paid vacation, and after a year 7 paid holidays,and all weekends off... But with 2% commission on everything I sell, where I get my own desk, computer, phone, nice chair, good office environment. Also 5 miles closer to home than the other job. And what I think will be a more rewarding career. With the overtime, I would also make more money up front with this job. Also this job has a much more impressive job title, that will look much much better on my resume.

OR

I can be a Customer Service Associate at $12/hr with benefits, 401k, starting with 2 weeks paid vacation a year, sick days, personal days. From what I was told, there is the possibility of a supervisory role after a year or so. But it seems like it will be must less rewarding, and definitely will not look as good on a resume. And yet, you can't argue with the benefits, because from what I was told, they really are great benefits. And there is room to grow within this company.

I don't know what to do. Both jobs seem pretty equal.

Go with the one that has benefits. That's what I would do.

Benefits are no joke. I do like benefits.

You need to think bigger picture. What do you want for a career? Does either job lead you towards that career? If not, I would take the benefits.

Titles are worthless. It is about what you do, not what they call you while you do it.

 

[CTC B4Z]

in todays job market there is no bigger picture.. take the most money now and run with it

 

[Snapdragon]

Playing devil's advocate here, Sadclown. It sounds like this job is more of a stepping stone, so if it will help you get where you ultimately want to be better or faster, the one with the better title might be the way you should go.

But benefits are important. And a job is a job.

So.

Gray's Green Energy I would at least be in sales, which I like. There is just no place I can go from there within that company. With Republic, there is the opportunity to grow with it.

Benefits, benefits, benefits. A 401(k) that has some percentage matched is huge. Not only is it the smart move for retirement and tax purposes, but it also provides the ability to borrow from oneself in a time of need, and can even be used toward the purchase of a home, often without penalty.

Of course there is a lot to consider before taking anything out of a 401(k), but having the option is certainly nice.
