Average Salary for Select Industries Employees

Pros: Trusted to get my work done without micromanagement. If something is wrong at home or there's a minor emergency that needs taken care of outside of work, my manager lets me leave and take care of it without hassle.

Cons: The gap between management and the "workhorse" employees on the floor is unreal. There's virtually no communication. Higher ups and engineers that should be on the floor monitoring machines running when there's issues are nonexistant. Selects pay/wages/benefits etc. are insufficient and not remotely competitive. A CNC or Press Operator with 5 years of experience that can demonstrate proficiency at that job can expect to start at around 18$ hr. Maybe 20$ if after a year with good attendance, you don't scrap half of the parts you run, and work 6-7 days a week whether you want to or not. They don't match 401k, they don't give sick leave. You must use your personal vacation time if you're sick. Management can't manage. Managers hire managers to manage. Some of those managers don't have the skill to manage a hand of Uno.
