Job Offer. Should I take it????????????

by gerry79

Was offered a job with a starting salary of $30.00/hr in Arlington. There is a 5 grand sign on bonus along with 3 grand for moving expenses. Should I be worried about the working conditions at the hospital (Medical Center of Arlington)? Thanks for any advice!

I think this is a good opportunity with great starting hour. What working conditions are you talking about? As I'm only a student I'm sure you could ask the stipulations of your job. I'd just be weary of the sign on bonuses because if you decide to move if something sudden arises you will have to pay that back if you don't finish your contract.

I'm always cautious of sign on bonuses also but that sounds like a great opportunity.
