Pros

Weekly Pay, hourly rate ( starting pay ), union. If you lucky enough to get fulltime I heard the benefits are good.

Cons

Physical work, long hours and mandatory overtime. A partimer is typically scheduled a ten and a half hour shift but expect to work past that or you will get fired if you don't stay. After ten hours it is time and a half. After twelve hours it is double time. In my opinion money isn't everything. Why kill yourselve? Burn yourselve out? This company has a very high turn over rate. When you first walk in the door nothing but negative energy. Even the trainer drills in your head that people don't come back after two days, a week, two weeks e.t.c. Only a few people are friendly to new hires. I guess they figure why get to know you if you might not last long. This should be your red flag here. Why work for a company that sets you up for failure, and expects you to fail? You can't sign up for direct deposit until after probation which is ninety days. Never heard something this ridicules in my life, another red flag. If you like physical work, this job might work for you. If you know how to drive a triple forklift, build pallets, this job might be for you. If you know how to use voxware this job might be for you. Starting pay 18.50 hr. Top out pay 25.00 hr. HR is useless. Management is useless. You get a break four hours after you start which is thirty minutes. You get another break four hours later which is also thirty minutes. Company is biased towards minorities, and women. They recruit a lot of Supervalue ex employees. No set schedule you can't leave till all work is done. Stay away from this place look for something better unless you prefer money over health, and family. Also a partimer is required to work four days ten hours plus a day. Don't ask for less or tell them you have another job. They will fire you. They need people, but don't want to work with you.

Pros

401k is good Benefits got more affordable

Cons

The biggest con is what must these big companies fail to focus on. Money. If to ask, even if you document measurable results ,that i spent a long time composing. You are told that other mechanics get the same or around the same pay. Then say no. Going the extra mile everyday, doesn't get you anything . Yes it's pay. We start a little better than market. But don't go up from there. Yes not right. Not we cannot get any overtime to make up for the lack of raise . It forces good mechanics out . Also they focus way to much on irrelevant things like dei etc .it should be the work you do not what you look like.
