Summary

The conversation covers topics such as personal backgrounds, getting into the trade, first-year experiences, the importance of training and pay structure, challenges of team dynamics in the shop, the value of a mentor, leaving a dealership, working at an independent shop, and transitioning to a Chrysler dealership.

Takeaways

The value of a mentor in the shop cannot be overstated. A good mentor can provide guidance, teach efficient work habits, and contribute to a positive work environment.

Training is crucial for career growth and increased earning potential. Technicians who invest in their training and continuously improve their skills are more likely to be successful and earn higher wages.

Team dynamics in the shop can greatly impact productivity and job satisfaction. Effective leadership and a supportive work environment are essential for fostering teamwork and collaboration.

Dealing with ineffective management and manipulative colleagues can be challenging. It is important to maintain professionalism and focus on personal growth and development.

Open and honest communication is key in addressing issues in the workplace. It is important to voice concerns and seek resolution constructively. Know your worth and recognize when it's time to change your career.

Consider the work mix in a shop and ensure that it aligns with your interests and skills.

Document your actions and accomplishments to support your requests for raises or compensation.

Don't settle for a negative work environment or a job that makes you unhappy.

Prioritize your happiness and well-being in your career choices.
