Pluspunten
Long days, no overtime. Nice cars. Owner George Frem stays mostly in the office and out of the way. Opportunity to help many different customers due to high vis / high traffic area bringing many in.
Minpunten
There's no manuals. There's no tech references, none of the typical procedures list telling us techs order of disassembly or replacement like you'd see at a dealer or other similar shops serving high-end vehicles of this nature. You'll get a diagram printout, and then guesswork from your previous repairs. So there's plenty of time-wasting in conflict with the stated invoice hours.
Operated in Middle Eastern fashion: High Turnover: Bad Location, misrepresentation of the job & Payscale: MEDIAN pay in WLA: $53,851/year (payscale.com) not minwage.
When speaking by phone on this job, $14 was negotiable. But onsite hiring proved $11 an hour was top pay. Which bumped to $8 min wage the third day. So misrepresentation happens.
Specialized tools "are required as needed" but they turned out to be property of the Lead Bay Tech. Not the shop's. I wasn't shown a "shop master tool crib" or I'd have utilized it instead of borrowing what I didn't have.
Luring someone in with unreachable promises is abusive, and there's so much biz opp in WLA it's just not necessary. If you're a straight-up business person, you don't have to do this. The LAST person you want to screw over in a service-oriented profession - is the service tech.
Leave your hopes for future job satisfaction with this company in the drain when you get out of the shower on the way into work, because it's not possible. Advancement potential is very high - when your shop supervisor leaves you'll get offered his position - at your continued rate.
There's no opportunity for growth. When you leave, it will be over pay misrepresentation, or overtime disagreements so forget about getting a positive reference from this place.
