Pros
Decent pay, decent benefits, and great co-worker. Work can be dirty at times, but its something a bit different everday. Liked the feeling of helping the world go around by keeping the trains brakes in proper condition
Cons
Management is picked by a contest of how much brown nosing you can clock every week. If you want to show up for work everday early and stay late, while being at work all weekend and not doing anything but brown nose. Then you will get fit in great. However, if you show up on time and go home ontime and do twice as much as the people that are there twice the amount of time, they will use you abuse you and throw you out on the street! I worked alot of overtime and they loved me. But then I started college and had to cut back so that I could attend class and still have time for my family. This ead them to hating me and then laying me off just 3 weeks before graduation and 3 months before being fully vested in the 401K. Management tells customers that we do everything by the book and expect the employees to do it by the book when being watched. However, when nobody is watching, cut corners, cut cost; heck, how cares if its donr right just get it on the truck. Kansas City, MO Pneumatic Managers motto is "Do what I say not what I do." He says to be honest and do what is right, however he just wants it done and if its not right owell, just get it on the books so he can get his bonus! He wanted equipment signed off so that he could save the labor hours for the brown nosers to be there all weekend not doing anything. He doesn't want the workers to take the time and money needed to insure quality, he just wants quanity!
