The only place that layers properly
The other ladies I work with are kind, understanding and caring. We can all get along pretty well for the most part, and we can turn to each other for guialdance as needed.
I lived Welch management they hired me same day and started next morning. After interview they didn't have much interaction unless I went in for training .which I passed 100.00
Owner owes me money. My pay check bounced twice and the owner never apologized or trying in any way to pay me. Can't get a hold of head quarters.
