Metro is an established company of Houston area for many, many years. Therefore, issues and problems have plagued the company for years in which nobody can solve. Careers are protected if you are brown-noser, in lieu of proper qualifications or experiences. Recently, they've introduced again the Top Tech of the Month, in which somebody is selected and recognized for their good work. However, more than half of the candidates chosen so far are simply because they exist at Metro, not because of their excellent work. Mechanics with actual great work ethics are passed up for ass-kissers and long-time squatters. Some candidates chosen outright have no relations to the category, leading many to think that this is because of favoritism and their connections. All of this is because now there is monetary rewards given out, so it DOES pay for being a "Top Tech." In some positions, one doesn't even have to be skilled at the job in which they're hired for. As long as they remained good friends with the Foreman, they can continue to hang out and collect their paycheck weekly, right up to their retirement. Some of them doesn't even retire, leading to them just occupying a spot that would otherwise gone to someone who CAN actually perform the duty as required. Well then, who does the work someone might ask? Of course, the unfortunate ones whomever the Foreman doesn't like or anybody that is left holding the bag, and that is the culture at Metro. It is always someone else's job. Overtimes are handed out arbitrarily. Some shifts gets none, some gets it every single day because their Foreman likes them and denies based on their personal feelings, regardless of the current work demand. So I definitely would not recommend anyone to work at Metro, unless you are skillful at navigating this swamp and is willing to deal with the headaches.
