Is it okay to ask about retirement plan and healthcare costs early in the interview process? If a company has expensive healthcare and doesn't supplement much, that comes out of your paycheck. But I feel like that isn't discussed much until you get the job offer...I don't want to waste my time or the employers.

I’m not sure if it’s okay to ask that. maybe that would be a question for the recruiter. I can tell you from my experience the new company I am at now, the healthcare is much more expensive..

You can definitely ask about the retirement plan. I would also suggest asking for a benefits guide before interviewing.

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
