Welder Reviews
What is it like working as a Welder?
April 2016
Welder:
Pros: The people I work with and pleasant.
Cons: The amount of work that has to be produced and expected to keep at a pace witch isn't possible.
The time it takes to do jobs is not possible with faulty equipment and bad organisation.
No new tooling.
Machines breakdown constant.
They make you feel of little worth.
Quick to pass the blame.
Have done things which are illegal but work tell you to get on with it.
Damaged tooling for machines.
How they teach you is leaving you on your own without proper guidance and or drawings.

Do what you like.
Welder:
Get certified, otherwise you'll be taken advantage of. Make sure this is what you want to do because this field isn't a pleasant one.

January 2016
Pride.
Welder:
Pros: Just being able to tell people that I was a Certified Welder at 20 years old was very prideful.
Cons: I have worked as a welder/fitter for over a year. I have learned the business, and the way things are there. I got forklift certified, I am First Aid and CPR certified, as well as a crane operator, over head crane operator, travel life operator and I am able to use basic saws and sawyer tools. I have NOT been hired on yet, they have laid me off before, they have NOT given me any benefits or compensation, and they have moved me around constantly from operator, to welder, to fitter, to sawyer, to laborer and back over again. I have not gotten a raise and they still expect me to work day in and day out. I do not agree with this. I believe I should be able to get hired on, and paid a little better and treated a little better than this since I have put the effort into learning everything there as well as working hard and fast.
