What's the feeling of people in Memphis regarding the Hilton corporate office and it's employees? Culture?

Do I want to move to Memphis for a job?

I've checked the Stand & Poors review and comparisons of public school test scores. How are the public schools really? Do most professional level people live in the Memphis city limits or do the live in a suburb?

Where would you actually advise and recommend as a good company to check on?

I've reviewed the various list of "Best Companies" and I'm still looking.

Where's the stability and longevity?

What cities are the best for over 37 Professional single adults?

I've seen rankings on singles cities but they usually revolved around colleges and under 30 crowds.

I'm looking for a new career/job preferably with a strong stable company in a warm great city with Professional muture singles. Any suggestions?

In the cold states like Colorado. Business travel was quite enjoyable in Colorado as a whole.

How's the Denver outlook? What's the best part of town to live & work? Other cities?

What companies have stability, a good reputation and growth in Colorado?

FedEx is the be-all, end-all employer of Memphis. Various sites throughout the city. Good paying jobs; great promotion opportunities.

University of Memphis - would imagine they have good jobs and great benefits; most universities allow employees to take classes either for free or at a discounted price. But I'm not sure about Memphis. Check them out at Memphis.edu.

Shelby County Government - great jobs if you're into government jobs. I wouldn't work for the City of Memphis, though. You have to live within the city limits in order to work for the City (how dumb is that?)

There are so many banks here, it makes my head spin.

Not sure what jobs pay here in comparison to where you live now, but I do know that the cost of living is low here compared to where I moved from (Maine). Housing is "cheap". Taxes are "cheap" compared to Maine. There is no state income tax, but the State/County makes up for it on sales tax (9.25). You can go to Mississippi to avoid the high tax in TN, but I would recommend shopping in TN because eventually they'd have to have an income tax if everybody started shopping in MS, AR, MO, etc.

Oh, thanks for the info. TX doesn't have state taxes either - thank goodness. Lived in OK a long time ago & they do. Awful! Our sales tax ranges from 7.25 to 8.25 in the metroplex DFW areas. I did a cost comparison & the cost of living is indeed lower in Memphis than in N. Dallas/Frisco, TX.

How are the towns attached to or nearby Memphis? I see you live outside of Memphis. Do most Professional people live in Memphis or do a greater # live outside of the city limits?

For example:
Frisco is actually a town itself that grew as numerous others. Dallas just connects to tons of cities without a break... call them suburbs or cities... it just all runs together. I personally wouldn't live in the Dallas city limits partly due to the schools lower ranking and 2nd the better neighborhoods are very expensive for less sq. ft. by a long shot. Most Dallas residents who have any money (middle class & above) send their kids to Private schools vs. Dallas..... Otherwise they move to the suburb/cities for the schools & lower cost very nice housing. The Frisco, Plano, Las Colinas, Coppell & other attached cities have excellent schools.

I did compare the schools test scores on Standard & Poors. One schools ranked higher. Seemed to be a set area in the Southeast part of Memphis. Still, I didn't know what other cities might be common to live in and also a reasonable drive.

Any thoughts?

Are there many Adult over 37 Single-families in Memphis or is it primarily married couples/families?

i worked for fed for 3 years it was one of the worst jobs i ever had!!!!!! unless u know some1 your are just another warm body throwing boxes!!!!!!

We moved here from Montana...Definitely another World down here!!! I agree, best Memphis Job to get, of all time, is FEDEX!! But, getting in is another story, unless you want to be throwing boxes. Like the others have said, you have to KNOW SOMEONE!!! Anyways, Tipton and Fayette Counties are growing rapidly!!! (Suburbs of Memphis)I know in Oakland,TN (Fayette Co.), 80 families a month are moving here!!! ITS NUTS!!! An average 2500+sqft house onthe golf course here costs about $275,000+, and a 1300sqft home costs around $147,000.

You couldn't PAY me to put my kid in a Memphis City School...But there are alot of County Schools that aren't too bad.Collierville or Germantown areas, and they are beautiful places to live also, but a little more expensive...LOCATION,LOCATION,LOCATION!!! Hope thias is somewhat helpful...
