I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere at some point, but have any current or former graders ever come out of their bunker to explain the inner workings at any of the big companies - training, competency, pay, working conditions, etc.?

I remember one guy who was a temp at PSA for like three weeks posted some of his memories on Reddit a few years ago.
