I love my new job. salary is the ----, especially when you stand around doing NOTHING for 2 hrs while you wait for a ------- torque converter seal.

id rather work 40 hours of salary, get PAID for 40 hours, than work 60 to bust *** for a 40hr workweek with 25 hours of flatrate work

8-5 or 6 depending on if I have something I can finish by 6, 1 hour lunch, no weekends, no holidays, each tech has 2 bays, and we're booked for about a week in advance. I ------- love it.

Flat rate sucks especially at a dealership that gets a ton of warranty work. One of the reason's I'm gonna try and leave this profession.

i worked on saturday.... little over 8 hours. did lots of sitting around. some throwing parts over counter... the lead tech forsure made over 20hours in the same 8 hours i was there... and i think the rest of them made around the same... but then again, they where working hard, i was listening to my music, on the internet, and billing out parts occasionally...

ima tell you what man...if you can, get on with a govt contract company! im absolutely loving working down here. im used to busting *** goin out turn and burn for 8 hrs a day, always in a hurry. now ive always worked hourly never flat rate but this is a whole different world. my normal working pace would get a weeks worth of work done in about 2 days here between ------- off and waiting on parts and bull shittin with the bossman, its awesome. im moving to a new shop to start a new mission and hopefully headed for 72 hr weeks at time and a half...cant wait...

theyre actually hireing i believe if anyones looking for a job...

My dad works for a gov't contractor and actually bitches because he gets paid so much and does so little. It pisses him off that all these years he busted his *** for the money he got, and now he's getting more for sitting around.

I work for a gov't contractor too and get paid decent. I bust my *** some days, but others I barely do anything. I worked 8 hours of overtime Saturday. Maybe worked 30 minutes total?
