well, day 2 and so far so good! not to toot my own horn, but i've always been pretty good at picking up on the technical side of my jobs. anytime there was new software or databases to learn, i got it down pretty quick. luckily this holds true so far for this job, cuz there is so much to learn, on top of 2 new loan programs (and one is DOS based so i feel like i'm reading a whole new language with so many codes and crap). it's really overwhelming, but the girl that's training me is really helpful and reassures me that i'm doing great. i processed 5 loans today, the goal is 12 per day. not bad for my 2nd day! :) *pat myself on the back*
the pros of my new job:
1) 3.3 mile commute door to door
2) really cool and fun team, and amazing boss
3) huge company, more chances of meeting cool new friends??
4) great potential for growth, and i do plan to be a superstar and make my way up fast!
5) very nice cafeteria and really cool coffee/tea drink machine thing!
the cons of my new job:
1) no internet access!!! (aside from sites for credit reporting, flood insurance, SSN checks, etc...boring) what am i going to do?!?! i was checking my yahoo email from my phone today!
2) no parking garage, so the snowy days are gonna be a b*tch of a walk...
3) no casual fridays. none. they have a "no denim policy." yuck. luckily it's on a more casual level of business casual, as i've seen ppl get away with khakis, capris and even "nice" t-shirts. but still...why can't we at least have fridays???
4) they are super strict on the 8-5 with 1 hour lunch schedule. which sucks, cuz i really liked working 7:30-4 and taking a half hour lunch. it's mandatory that we take an hour. wtf?! it doesn't take me an hour to eat, and with no internet, what do i do for 45 minutes? i may just start coming home for lunch, since i have the time! sheesh.
5) i already miss my old temp coworkers! haha, silly, huh? it's just different when you work in an office with 8 ppl, and then go to an office where your team of 15 is one of 11 teams with at least that many ppl. but i think i prefer the big company environment.
