Not the Pierce I grew up hearing about.

Pros

You know your schedule each week, except for weekend overtime. The pay is better than most places in the area, and they consistently give cost of living raises higher than the national average inflation rate.

Cons

Lots of negative people. They changed the pay scale shortly after I started working there, meaning I won't get top pay in 8 years anymore, now it's more like 20-25 years. Some managers don't have a clue how to build a fire truck. There's a big lack in continuity between shifts. They hold on to bad employees far too long.

Pros

There are no pros at this time.

Cons

This company only cares about the money. They treat their floor employees like slaves. They just announced that on top of constant mandatory Fridays 8hours, that we would now be forced to work mandatory 8 hours on Saturdays too. Every single Friday and Saturday. We were promised at the interview for second shift that we would be on 4- 10 hour shifts with occasional Friday overtime and no Saturdays. No they will not pay double time for these new mandatory Saturdays. They do not care that we have families of our own we’d like to see. This company only cares about money. Also we’re so short staffed that the amount of trucks they want a week is unreachable for any of us. And we were told that they’d be increasing the amount of trucks as well. Absolute joke.
