Hey White_horse - any interest in HSN? To be honest, I don't know what they're like to work for, or if you're anywhere near Tampa. If you want, I can get you in touch with the right people.

Don't laugh, but Bealls Department Stores are an extremely strong and ever growing Florida company.

Stay Away from 1st Global in Dallas. they will promise you the moon to get you in and then renege on at least 75% of their promises. Kinda like politicians. Run by morons for morons. The owner is a control freak and so is his cronies.
If there are any computer geeks out there, feel free to mess with our website. www.1stglobal.com Maybe post porn on some of the links or something. [:D] Best company that I have worked for: Washington Mutual, their brokerage firm sucks big time. But the bank side is awesome. They really know how to take care of their employees. Union Bank of CA. Again another great company. They believe in taking care of employees and creating loyalty. Thereby creating loyalty amongst their customers. Can you say unlimited sick days. Bank officers start out at 3wks vaca. Unlimited berievement time. Full benies. Great 401K AXA, talk about perks. They pay for schooling up to 90%. Benies galor. Giving a heads up just incase you think about getting into the Financial Services. |

I am the best employer I know, my wife is a close second.
Seriously, if you are thinking of a new experience and since you have had training in management and sales, you may want to think about a career change to being a Mortgage Broker! It is a great job and you work for yourself. I would suggest getting with a company for your training then maybe moving on to being your own broker. |

Yep, Home Shopping Network - it'd probably be a pretty good fit given your retail and IT background. My Florida-specific geography knowledge is somewhat limited, however.
Good luck on the search, WH. |

Yeah, Wiggy! That's all we need: more Mortgage Brokers. There's more brokers in Minnesota than attorneys! Oh, wait! That's how I earn my keep! Never mind. Lord-I'm glad to hear about your experience with WAMU, but the mortgage division leaves something to be desired. HUGE company that seemed to value it's infrastructure more than the producing salespeople it had. (IMHO) |

Do you have a Costco down there? I have a friend who has worked there for 6 years. Apparently it's one of the best places to work. She makes 45k a year as a cashier.

Like Tate said, [size=5]Southwest Airlines[/size=5]!!!
They ALWAYS rank #1 in employee satisfaction! Other employers in the Metroplex area? Hmmm... Cook Children's Medical Center has almost NO employee turn over - and a lot of those end up coming back! |

Stay away from any and I do mean any English company. Their accounting system sucks and it's almost like they enjoy getting even for the revolutionary war. They buy companies here in the US then rape and pilage till their destroyed. Worst of all, we Americans alow it.

The best company i ever worked for was Helzberg Diamonds. They are part of Berkshire Hathaway which is Warren Buffet. If you dont know who he is, he's only the second richest man in america next to Bill Gates. I work in retail sales, in jewelry, and Helzberg is absolutely first class in everything it does. I had to relocate to an area where there arent any so now i have to work for another company.

It goes without saying to avoid Worldcom. AT&T used to be a great employer, but these days they are focused on making the most with the least, which means it sucks to be among the least.
I heard somewhere that FedEx is good, and Southwest Airlines. Another that is supposed to be great to work for is L.L. Bean, but I doubt they have any operations in Florida. Naturally, it is BEST to work for yourself. |

Stay away from aerospace if you want stability. Those poor bastards that thought they would retire from the space station and space shuttle programs are tightening up their resumes now. Defense contractors are up and down, depending on the administration in power at the moment. The only sure thing jobs that I have ever seen is, Funeral buisness, Lawyer buisness, Medical buisness; and all their suppliers. Good luck.

add the military business to that list of sure fire jobs.
Keep your nose clean and retire at 40 with a 50% pension. (the getting shot at parts do suck though) |
