Bullpucky.

Speaking anecdotally, if I were in NC (I'm not), working (I am), and
interested in this position (maybe, if I were in NC), I'd take the time
to track down the information I needed to make an informed decision
about the position before/during the application process.

Don't be so quick to speak for the entire industry.
