Review of Innovative Refrigeration Syste...

This company has a terrible retention rate.

This company has a terrible retention rate.
I was hired and I worked for 6 months with them. At first I took two weld tests for them and they failed both which are the 1st two weld tests that I have ever failed anywhere in 5 years of welding. Then they offered me a spot as a general laborer at a lower pay rate than I was asking for and so I took it because I needed the job at the time being. The day of hiring the had me take the same two weld tests again, I did nothing different than the last time and I magically passed this time.
Anyhow after this I worked a few months and then I took the 6G pipe test for them and passed it. They then moved me into pipewelding and threw me straight Into a big money project with absolutely NO TRAINING on fit up or finding take off values for the construction of the lines and valves.

I asked for help several times and was briefly explained what to do. And yet I still struggled to correctly fit everything up. After welding on a valve backwards and cutting it all back apart to fix it I asked to go back to Structural welding in order to save the company money on the time I was taking to complete projects and also to save myself the stress of being expected to perform perfectly with no training time. I was then Layed off the next day, not fired. But "layed off." because they just don't believe in going backwards In this company and apparently they dont believe in training either.
