[QUOTE="Aquaman, post: 4909612, member: 68552"] The theme you’ll quickly recognize at Express is there’s next to no transparency on the direction of the company. Group meetings with managers will be few & far between. And you’ll be sold on a pay plan that has 10 steps with top pay looking pretty good. Reality is we rarely get those steps.
