Business outlook
Pros
Great pay, and benefits are awesome, 11 paid holidays a year. Was a mechanic flat rate for a private dealership, was working myself to death. Saw King county was hiring at an hourly rate, which is not standard for most car mechanics. Now have a higher hourly wage and guaranteed to get paid for the time I'm at work. They also have PERS 2 which is great, and offer additional deferred compensation plans through T.Rowe Price. So much happier and less stressed than with my old employer. If you don't like your job and want to move around in King county it is easy to do so.
Cons
24 hour operation, you will work graveyard when starting out until you get seniority. Work is pretty repetitive and not very challenging mentally.
