MQ - ugh!

In Reply to: dragging your feet - SL MQ

can only speak for myself here, but after working with MQ for 6 years for the NE/Amherst office, I can tell you it sucks! Maybe the other offices are better but I honestly can't say anything good about the office I worked for. So called management was a joke, and most of the office staff were not exactly helpful.

If you are considering going with MQ, I would suggest holding on to your full time job, and go with MQ part time to get a "feel" for the office you will be working out of. That way if things don't work out for you, at least you still have your full time position elsewhere.
