Tim Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Assistant manager at wally world which is a real blast around holiday time I've been part-time at SAMs for a little more than a couple decades, so I feel your pain there. But that just is fun money (which now includes helping put Adam's kids through college). But my full-time gig is as an analyst, mainly doing quality control and making Excel do things Microsoft never thought about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggerdan11 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I work for a large window and door manufacturer based in my home town. I work the in the Environmental Engineering department, and my tile is Environmental Coordinator. I oversee all Environmental aspects at our main manufacturing facilities located at our corporate headquarters. Basically we make sure that the plants are not breaking any of the environmental rules and regulations set by the EPA and other state and local agencies. I do a lot of training, inspections and report writing as well as writing plans that describe how we are going to meet the gov regulations. I also deal with hazardous waste spills and cleanup as well as shipping hazardous waste off site. I am also in charge of collecting and tracking electrical, natural gas, water usage, waste and recycling, and try to come up with ways to reduce energy and waste. One of the good things about my job is I spend a lot of time walking around the “campus” performing inspections so I’m not stuck behind a computer all the time. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com<img src=" /><o:p></o:p> I’m still trying to decided if this is something I want to do as a career. I have worked here for over a year and I was originally hired in this “entry level” position and my boss figured I would be promoted before a year. Well there have been some major changes in the company (we were recently bought by a huge Canadian investment firm), and the housing market is still not recovering at all, so looks like I’m going to still be in this position for at least another year. Oh well that will give me plenty of time expand my knowledge base and become better at what I do. There is some good news though, we are planning on expanding our reach to our European and Australian facilities, so that could be a great opportunity (hopefully).

StormChaser Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I investigate auto accidents for a major insurance carrier. I investigate disputed accidents (both claim to have had the green light), injury claims, coverage issues (customer had accident while they had a lapse of coverage), rental vehicle accidents, possible fraud accidents, and multiple vehicle accidents. I am also a certified Arbitrator. I hear cases weekly for other insurance carriers. Example: USAA and State Farm have investigated the accident and both feel they are right and the other is wrong. They can file arbitration and the case is heard by an independent adjuster (me) and the Arbitrator's (my) decision is final and binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be so horrible to get into an accident while having a lapse in coverage. How often does this happen? What happens to them, are they just screwed? Do you feel bad for any of them?

StormChaser Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Nice. That would be so horrible to get into an accident while having a lapse in coverage. How often does this happen? What happens to them, are they just screwed? Do you feel bad for any of them? It happens all the time unfortunately. People can't afford insurance and so they let it go and get food or pay rent. It's a low priority when it comes to things like that. Other times it's where the person is getting divorced and the soon to be spouse pays the insurance but stops without telling the other! Sometimes people just forget to pay it. Insurance carriers give plenty of notice by email, mail and now some are offering text messaging....it really does suck because I would love to give people coverage and handle their claims but if the premium's aren't paid, my hands are tied. If someone gets into an accident and is uninsured they have to pay the repairs directly. If they are at fault then they have to pay the other person too.

NathanJax Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm an operator for a flavors and fragrance chemical plant. We take CST oil (Crude Sulfate Turpentine) and turn it in to good smelling fragrances, solvents, coolants and flavors. We sell to companies like Kraft, Colgate, P&G, and a bunch of others. Products include toothpaste, chocolates, gum, shampoos, conditioners, soaps, colognes, perfumes, cleaners like pine-sol etc.. We make flavors for certain rums/vodkas and we even make some of the smells that go in to the car scent trees that people love to put in their car. Everything I make, you guys use on a daily basis, GUARANTEED. It's even possible we make oils that goes into Adam's stuff to make it smell good or clean. I've never looked that far into it or even talked to the guys at Adam's to see where they get it. I sit in front of a desk with 2 computers, 6 monitors and operate equipment outside. For everything that's automated, I turn on/off pumps, open/close valves and monitor the equipment. However, a lot of our stuff still isn't automated so I still have to go outside a lot and manually do that stuff. It could be dangerous. This is a similar plant close to us that exploded about 4 years ago. T2 Labs Explosion. Hopefully, that never happens to us. As of Dec 31st, I will have worked my normal 40 hour weeks and made 740 hours of overtime. I average about 72 hours a week, and usually at least 1 week a month is 84 hours (7x12hr days). It's shift work, so someone has to be here 24/7. My schedule is completely screwy right now (since April) and I'm hoping to get it back to a normal schedule (40-48hrs) by sometime in March or April of next year. It's a very interesting job. I didn't know anything about it, never went to school for it, I just kinda fell into it about 5 years ago. It's great pay but ****ty hours. I guess the ****ty hours is why the pays good.
