anyone work at register

does anyone work at register.com? Im suppose to be going to school in september for plumbing but i just spent 13 years in school and i really dont feel like going back,,, so this brings me to looking for a job, Register always seems to hire but it seems like alot of people quit.

Is it good pay? Do you get commision? Why do they quit so much? any info would be great.

George,RJ,The Dubber Shane all work.

Shits tight !

i'd say go for plumbing... in my line of work, i see alot of people coming out of there on the advise of there doctors due to stress and anxiety issues... most of those people end up going for trades after anyway... lets face it, the odds of making a career out of a job at a call centre are pretty slim, whereas if you have a trade under your belt, you'd be much better off

i have a job there next training session, if i want it, im not sure yet but ill tell you one thing, right now its not easy finding a job as an automotive apprentice, go with plumbing. its easy and pay is good

i'd never recommend automotive to anyone... the pay is shit compared to other trades

plumbing is a good trade to have but it seems that jobs are hard to find in that also, my brother is the only person in his class who got a job. .... as far as automotive i would never take it, pay just dont seem good for most people.

Funny I have a trade, but I make more $$ at a call center... FUCK YOU BIGFOOT!

Plus if you go into automotive you usually stop giving a shit about your car hobby.

so the ones who work there, do you like it? or are you just putting up with it

i plan to go back next year and take welding, i mainly took automotive for the expeirence, plus i aint got to pay labor on my own car

thats what happens when you don't finish your apprenticeship...

average hourly wage for a journeyman electrician is $21.00, which works out to 43k per year for a 40hr work week... if you make that much at register, i'm impressed

Not quite that much, but pretty good $$$ for doin fuck all.......but for me its a job, not a career.

government job only way to go

might as well go to school get the trade and if you cant find a job go to register or somthing till you can find a job in your trade ... if i can`t find a job when im done thats what im gunna do but i should be able to find one as a electritian

good outlook Georgie...

I mean it's definitely good $$ for Ytown especially, unless you want to work in a fish plant.
My thing, for obvious reasons, is self employment. Once established with a gimmick...ya got it made in this town. Kinda like selling crack.

But no matter what jobs are out there....this is required --> especially for good coin.

Shhhh you weren't supposed to pull the journeyman card! Working as an apprentice was an excuse for people to take advantage of me, 100 + hour weeks with no overtime making just above minimum wage is fucking bullshit.


I'm with you on that Georgie, I've been looking at some other options lately to finish my apprenticeship and then go to work for myself.

In Southwest Nova....

Average wage is around $21-$22.... entry level wage can be as low as $14 houly for an apprentice and as high as $30 hourly for an experienced journeyman... go self employed and the earning potential is limitless

Halifax is a little better.. Average wage is $25 hourly
Quick look at Fort Mac... Average is $34 hourly

If i was in your shoes... plumbing would be my choice hands down

yup deffinitly gonna stick with plumbing

Plumbing is actually one of the only trades right now , that jobs still keep coming.. other trades has been allot of lay offs.
If I were to take a trade Plumbing hands down
