"I love the mechanical aspect of the job. It's definitely one that takes a natural skill and mechanical ability, and the job requires long hours on your feet. The twelve hour shifts can be long but it's rewarding work and the benefits are absolutely amazing--I'm seriously blown away by them in this economy. I wish I didn't have to rotate Sundays, since I'm active in my church, but having days off mid-week is incredible for family life. There are many chances to improve my skills and move up in the company, which is great if you plan on making injection a career. I DO wish there was more detailed training, as I didn't feel completely prepared my first official day on the floor. But like with anything, you have to sink or swim."
