Why unlimited vacation may not be as great as it sounds

Unlimited vacation sounds like a dream, but new research shows that employees who work in companies with unlimited PTO may actually take less time than those with traditional plans.

For many of us Here in America, we get one week off per year. And a few days here and there for holidays.

Being able to create your own day is amazing. You can volunteer become involved with other civic affairs. It's not like a vacation but doing what you decide is a breath after fresh air!

Why they call it unlimited when it's not unlimited.
