    I worked for PBG(Pepsi) in McKees Rocks. I hated that job. Store managers and Pepsi managers alike treated us like dirt.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I believe unemployment is around 550-600/week for them and they still have benefits for a year. One lives in the west suburbs but I am sure will be willing to work anywhere in the chicagoland area. Other is south burbs, same thing.

    Do you have a contact number just in case they are interested? I doubt they would be RIGHT NOW because they would be making more on unemployment unless they get more in a different area. Appreciate the heads-up though.

    Chicago starts at $13...there are locations in Naperville, Mokena, and Rolling Meadows...there are also some in Indiana...if they are interested they can email me at aaron.jones@echostar.com . I am always looking for good people and willing to help. I used to live in CHI so I have some good contacts up there regardless of working at the Dish.

    Cranberry would be the closest location to me and not too far from where I used to work. Consider me very interested.
