Pros
Liked the work and the hours. There are SOME really awesome people that I worked with. Insurance is pricey but it was better than what I have seen a lot of places. I only worked 3 days cause well weekend shift.
Cons
Where do I begin, this is going to be tough. Well, let's start with the fact I wasn't paid one of the weeks I worked; still haven't been and I brought it up several times. It's from the same day I left work early and ended up in the E.R. I was incredibly sick with the flu, and I knew something wasn't right. Came back the following week after submitting a doctor's excuse; Stating that I should not go back that weekend. when I came back the following week, I came back to a write up. What this write up contained was; occurrences for the weekend I had a doctor's excuse, the time I called off a day ahead of time for an announced snow day for my daughter, and a day I left early that THE supervisor approved I could and used my P.T.O. time without telling me it would be an occurrence (Since it was same day kind of thing since we didn't really have a lot of wiring work left), And there was a day I arrived late cause of bad weather but I still showed up. There was some other stuff; and I will elaborate on that after this. Now no matter the circumstance if you don't give a 24 hour notice it's an instant occurrence. Bed ridden in the E.R. getting infusions with a doctor's excuse or not, doesn't matter. Now because no one knows what any policy is; because everyone was hired in with some different understanding of what's offered. They printed off paperwork of what are considered occurrences cause a lot of people didn't know. The other thing in the write up was what was considered a poor performance review. I was placed on a job that no one had ever done before; and without my weekend wiring lead it would not have been completed. It took me an extremely long time to do since: it used hardware that we don't even carry, I was told someone was going to get said hardware pieces and no one came back with any. I had to make my own hardware to get the job complete, I had to look for tools to make said hardware since there are never tools on the wall, there were parts that were nowhere to be found (this is where my team lead had to make a decision since people in another depart waffled on what to do for hours and we never got an answer), had to decide if we were going to use parts that were broken (which we did), added shelving that was not part of the original manufacturing for said pieces (which I worked really hard to make sure it looked like it wasn't straight up forgotten it was dead to nuts level and straight). Took me the whole day and was out of my control but it was my problem. So, I was told that I needed to be more productive, and it took me to long and I got a verbal warning. Now to the following day I was given a job to where I could do it sitting down. As I was working, I was "told" in a manner of a brash question to stand up, which caught my lead and I completely off guard. I was completely dumbfounded, so I decided to finish standing up which made no difference except being on my feet longer. I have been advised multiple times if you can do a job sitting, do it sitting. Regardless this job is part of my write up sitting to do a job when someone else wants me to stand. When a different supervisor started, I would always get to work right on time with everyone else. stand in line and clock in and I would clock in a minute or 2 after 6 which is a big "no no" even though you aren't late until 7 after; and they change your time clock to show you clocked in at 6 so you don't get more time on your check if you clock in earlier. After that conversation was had, I just got to work earlier to prevent the issue and never had that again. that was probably part of it but I'm not sure on that one it could be conjecture. I'm still rather miffed at the situation. these are examples of what I have dealt with. Not all of them either. In the long run I do feel like I was targeted, as another individual may have pointed out. I did take the time to read other experiences on here. I can't say what they said is me I'm not a young kid but there are similarities. I had a lot of questions about one of them being me and obviously it's not since I'm writing this one. once someone puts you on full blast that's it and they don't like it when you fire back. The pay is bottom tier for what you end up doing. you have to fix stuff on the fly all the time. You can never get any support from much needed departments because they aren't there on weekends. Things worked on during the week are sometimes just written down on paper not correctly notated and we get a picture of written scribbles to decipher. It's really disfunction junction and it needs to be paid attention to. I could go one for so much longer but I'm just going to give you my suggestions in the next section.
