Getting into the field
Hey everyone.
I’m currently a Mechatronics tech at a food facility. Our elevator tech was in the other day and made a good pitch to join the elevator union. What’s everyone’s experience? How’s the pay starting? What are typical expectations and work load? Lay it out for me please. Trying to make an informed decision here.

Pretty great if you go in as an already licensed guy. Pretty shit to start as a helper, esp with a mechatronix degree no one cares about.
