In the spirit of the forums and sharing info, please tell us. I didn't know the national chains would go from interview to hire in 1 weeks time. If it's a quality Mom-n-Pop, I doubt they would mind the good publicity.

There is no such thing as "free" benefits. Salary and benefits(eg. health insurance, vacation time, retirement plan, etc.) are part of the total compensation package to you. Also, a company does NOT pay payroll taxes(eg. FICA and Medicare) because that is the cost of the labor you perform for the company. It would ONLY be "free" if you were not required to do anything to receive it. Generally, companies require you to work for them to get benefits even if you are a union thug .... Uh, member. :twisted:

OK. I'll restate it. It must be a Teamsters job because they are the only ones who offer health insurance and retirement pension plan at NO COST to the employee.
