Automotive Service Technician / Mechanic Reviews
What is it like working as an Automotive Service Technician / Mechanic?
July 2015
At least I have a job, but I need to make more money.
Automotive Service Technician / Mechanic:
Pros: They accept me for how slow I am to make sure the job is done right the first time, but I have been getting much faster. They accept me for the mental disorders I have which are Depression, ADD, and Anxiety. They pay for the registration fees for taking my ASE tests.
Cons: I don't make enough money because of my low productivity and I don't always get paid properly for the work I do. They very often need me to do the lowest level jobs which pays less because they don't have that many low level techs. The management is very poor. The boss is too pushy and puts me down a lot.
