Respectfully I have to disagree here. Yeah, there's a big culture of complaining about larger companies, and on King Kong any company offering a base of less than 20 cents is likely to get bashed - which is kind of unfair. For your first year you're gonna have to work at a rookie mill, and most rookie mills are broadly similar in terms of average earnings.

But I think that most people agree that companies such Celtic, Dewan and NATA are particularly egregiously bad.

Like, say what you will about Folklore or Spectrum or Summit, they certainly get a lot of hate - but I've also heard of plenty of people making good money with them. I certainly never met any of their former planters when I was in Ontario.

Celtic is just exceptionally bad.
