Does suck having to be up so early... I've been getting up at 3am for a year and half now and I still need 2 Pots O Coffee... At least you're getting paid well... My morning job only pays me $8.50hr and half of that I don't see cause it goes for insurance :p

I only make $8.50 an hour (kinda sucks), but I can buy the insurance through them at a far better rate then getting it on my own.

When I first went to work there, they wanted me to take a management positition, but I declined. Managers there only make like $12 an hour and then get bonuses for meeting payroll quota's... that and they have to work 50-60 hour weeks swing shift... Sorry, that'd be okay if I were younger, but I couldn't handle that and run a cleaning business and Car Godz.

Well lower level management gets paid $12-hr and gets weekly bonuses... between $100-200 pending the size of the department.
The really funny thing is that the upper management get's between $15-18- hr, but they get weekly and monthly bonuses...
I talked with one of the General Managers about this one day... He says it's hilarious when he goes to apply for an auto loan, cause they wanna know what his salary or hourly rate is... He has to tell them $16.75 an hour... and they come back and say "What's your title there again? :surprised )...
Then he interjects... "Can I use my bonuses as added income too?... Cause then I make $85,000 a year." :p
