Vantaggi
Mandatory O.T. and if you cant work O.T. will get a write-up and after three will get fired. Always work outside due to no room in the shop. Not enough shop tooling for all the techs
Svantaggi
Let me start with No leadership, no respect , no rules for safety practices if OSHA will show-up with no warning this place will be closed or they will be fined a lot of money. The techs run the show and nobody respects the day/night foreman. No new hire training process. They don't tell you what the company processes for billing customers are. When it comes to summiting RO's for P&A there is no training, pretty much here is a tractor and figure it out and once you take too much time on certain jobs they'll start writing you up and three write-ups you’re fired. Not enough tooling for all the techs, you have 40 something techs and only one shop tooling (timing tool, CAC psi. tester, A/C machine, etc.). So you have to purchase a lot of your own shop tooling and be aware other techs will steal your stuff. If it’s hard to believe just ask the Snap-On tool guy he tells you lock-up your tool box when you walk away from it. Every tech is so worried about trying to get "Gains" that no one is willing to help with the paperwork stuff or any other stuff. The techs that have been there for a couple years are very disrespectful to the new hire techs. This place is ran like a mom & pop shop hole in the wall very unorganized place and be aware to Fleet companies or private own truck drivers they will over bill you and take up to weeks to get your tractor fixed. This dealership claims to be “Elite Dealership “they will diagnosis your tractor in two hours or less but what they don't tell you after the two hour diagnosis time is it could take up to weeks to get your tractor back. The reasons are some techs will hide the RO’s (repair orders) inside their tool boxes over-night or the entire weekend because they want to guarantee they have a job for the next day. Or the foreman will favor certain techs to work on this tractor while some of the other techs wait around for work by the foreman's desk. The foreman will tell certain techs there's no work and log-into "idle time" just getting pay two times minimum wage. Basically there is favoritism and the foreman's are too scared to be a leader. So if you could deal with all this stuff then you will make it at Freightliner.
