Quote of the week...

“Historically, we haven’t seen many of our new hires leave after the holiday period. We do this huge hiring to get ready for the season, and it gets super busy. Then when January and February come around, it doesn’t return to the pre-holiday level. It slows down a little bit, but what happens is we make the majority of our seasonal employees full-time. When I started in January of 2005, we had 112 people. Today we have about 375. We are poised to hire all of our seasonal help shortly and I am projecting that by first quarter of 2008, we will have a sustained headcount of about 550.”
