As we used to say: “DBTH.” Don’t Believe The Hype. They are very pompous and arrogant Notre Dame students. I have worked there. If you ask anyone that works there, they will tell ya they only hire and promote fellow Notre Dame Students. I was fired from the company. I have an MBA, and worked my ass off when I was there. However, I was told on numerous occassions that a raise would be awarded to me, but I never got it. So, when I finally called my boss out on it, he promptly demoted me. Within about a month, I was terminated.
