Thoughts on working for the County?

Right I understand that for sure I d believe they got a very very miniscule raise of 12.5% that's spread over this new contract starting with about 5ish percent.... Not much but there's that. Like you said it's kinda sick you've gotten a trade and the starting really isn't much to write home about but is the saying true? You have to start somewhere? Hmm. Far as a pension I think you have to contribute x amount of years which again does kinda suck I'm not sure how their pension is, but when I worked at General Mills ( i should've stayed , making 6.5-7k a month) it was 3 years to be vested

 

Lol yeah in a sense, lord knows you better hope there's OT and/or job classification advances

 

Yeah you're right I understand, although there are other similar related jobs that does pay more with other counties for instance I saw one but they wanted you to have tanker and EPA cert, which I don't mind getting they were starting between 26-33hr

 

You stayed for a nice while would you happen to know if their pension was vested after 6 years? The on call thing would suck depending how often and how far it would be, what are guys opinion on working for amerigas ? As a driver

 

There was a guy in my class that wanted to be a lineman I heard they made good $$, what was your experience with a county job albeit different responsibilities. Have you left
