Well I've survived day 4 of my new job... everything is going great! So I figured I'd take the camera in to work today and snap a few pics of what I do now. It's actually kinda fun, but definitely hard and dirty work. There's plenty of it though, and that's all I care about My camera battery died while I was snapping, so I only got a few. Should give a good idea though
We start with this.... a fresh new victim. This one was a Saturn SL1. And freakin OUCH to whoever was sitting in the front passenger seat!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Drop the motor and trannys out, put on pallets (this motor and trans was from the Impala I did before the Saturn. Camera dead when I got that one out) ![]() Then put them up in the bins. These are only 2 pics of different bins. There's about 12-14 bins of JUST engines and transmissions, then a bunch more bins full of PS pumps, steering racks and gearboxes, starters, alternators, a/c compressors, fuel pumps, head/tail lights, radios, PCM's, wheels, steering wheels, and other misc stuff ![]() ![]() Then we get to slice and dice! Who knew a Sawzall could be so much fun?? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then they go back out into the yard where they'll spend the rest of their life, until they head to the crusher. This is only a tiny part of the yard.... you can't see it from where I'm standing but off to the right there's another HUGE yard much bigger than what you see here ![]() I'm liking this place so far though... everyone seems cool. Can't beat the benefits.... health/vision/dental insurance (and I think maybe life ins too... not positive).... $6.00/pay period. All the health insurance is 100% company paid... can't beat that! I think I'll fit right in

What's the name of the company you work for?
My cousin is a manager for a company that does similar work, and they have branches all over the US. He loves it, and has been moved all over for various promotions. Currently lives in Utah. |
