     Glassdoor.com - Did you ever really want to know exactly how good a company can be to work for? Well this website is an excellent source for just that. It allows you to view opinions from employees of major companies or corporations like Merck, Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, GlaxoSmithKline, and many others in all different industries. While searching some of the companies I thought would be great to work for, I found that not all employees are happy. Now everyone has their own opinions and viewpoints, but at least you can get an idea of what a company is like before you apply or are hired.  

     Not only does this site have information regarding the well-being of their employees, but you can also look at the salaries. It compares the different positions within the company, as well as, comparing companies to one another. It also gives salaries which are common for certain cities or states and what the common salaries are for certain jobs.
    Another great aspect of this site is that people who had interviews post about how the hiring process went and sometimes, even the interview questions which were asked. It also includes featured jobs from other online job search websites.
  I would definitely recommend this website to job hunters and people who are interested in pursuing a degree or career in a given industry. It absolutely is a great tool to use especially if you are confused or are not exactly sure what you would like to do with your career and future.
