GOOD LUCK m8!!

    my experience of Nissan sums it up nicely. I was sitting in reception waiting to go thru for a interview/test when a worker was carried past me on a stretcher clutching his stomach in agony and trying not to be sick. A Jap ran past and went into a managers office telling him what happened. The Manager burst out of his office walked straight past the bloke on the stretcher (not noticing him) heading to the line. I heard him saying "aaaaaaha he hasn't been sick on the car has heeee?"

    Reminded me of Bridge Over The River Kwai.

    All in all tho, If I was 18 again I would consider working there for a couple of years and blasting a few mortgages out as its great money.

    very very true

    i did it for about 2 years and was the last "temp" on my team to go when the new primera flopped

    i have seen people have a piss in a bin on the trim and chassis lines because they were not allowed to goto the toilet

    ive seen shitty kegs in the toilets from people who could not hold on long enough

    i was building the engines on the engine line

    to be fair, there is a few cushy numbers about, but there mostly taken by people who are sick/old/past it

    temps these days dont get the full wage do they?
    i heard they were all in through an agency which paid peanuts and had promises of a permanat contract at the end of it

    dont be fooled, you get taken on today as summer is busy
    jobs will go just before christmas, thats just the way it is

    the feckers rang me 3 times after they got rid of me asking me to go back, told them to shove it and went next door to johnsons controls to build the nissan seats

    more money due to loads of overtime and less stress/work :D
    left johnsons when sumthing better came along and have not looked back

    to be honest i actually liked working at nissan/johnsons, nice to have a challenge in your life if you can hack it, seen a lad leave his pull down gun hanging a bit low
    got caught on the engine and went down the track, till it popped off and came springing back at such a fucken pace

    hit him square in the face, he was 1 station up from me, knocked him flying and knocked him clean out :eek:
    what did the supervisor do?
    did his job for him till he came around and then put him back ont he job with a few paracetemol :lol:

    2 weeks later he was bladderd
    only thing i think is worth doing the nissan route is for the CV at the end of it

    Nissan on your CV is GOOD IMO
    walked straight into the next job without any tests, and night on walked striaght into the next/current one with no probs either

    now in bodyshop were i know what im doing :D stand in a spot,not running around chasen cars,bit easyer

    engine dress is pretty harsh :lol:

    i think we were doing about 360/cars a shift if i rember correctly

    one of my jobs was to whack the drive shafts in with the palm of my hand

    720 driveshafts a shift :love:
    and they give you a wanky little wightlifting glove thing with a pit of rubber padding on it to stop your hand hurting :lol:
    plus i was doing the alternator and the pas pump belts in the same process :cry:

    you get used to stuff, was a piece of piss in the end, could have done it with one hand :D

    theres 3 or 4 jobs belonging to engine dress but there on the main line, just before the engine gets fitted to the car, last job is to pick up the discs, callipers, bottom arms etc etc and fit them to the shafts, so the engine boys can lift the whole lot up

    they give you a crane

    but they dont give you enough time to use it :lol:
    line speed goes up, and your carrying them fuckers by hand all shift, primera hubs,discs,callipers and bottom arms wiegh a fucken tonne :lol:

    in johnsonns i was picking up bits of foam for the seats and puttting them on machines :love:

    did not mind the overtime with it being so easy
    made 25k in the first year :love:
    but its never enough is it :p
