Flooded shop, Gotta watch those service writers...

Automotive mechanic

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Employee discount on parts, you can use the shoplift, alignment station, and tire balance. to work on your personal after work or if it's slow.

Cons

So many technicians are divided into 4 teams, some teams clearly get almost all of the gravy jobs, or if you have seniority you're getting fed and everyone else gets the scraps. GOTTA watch the service writers and keep a notebook log of all your jobs completed and hours flagged(personally I took a picture of every RO), they will try to "accidentally" give you 0.1 hours or put someone else on there, THEN you gotta dig through the system and every RO to find the one that they didn't pay you on and bug that service writer, instead of taking a break between jobs I gotta waste my time trying to get paid correctly. Left after I was missing 20 hours on one check.
