I am in my 2nd year as an apprentice and I make $16 an hour and have never had less than 40 hours, usually 50 and always time an half for every hour over 40.
Started off at $14 an hour and got two $1 raises so far.
I pay $6 a week and my employer kicks in the rest for full insurance coverage, I get 7 paid days off (includes sick and vaca.) My company provides us with cordless and power tools (hilti hammer drills, cordless drills and sawzalls) which we take home and keep unless we leave the company.
My company is in Mass. and is nonunion.
I knew they treated us good but did not know how good until reading some of the posts on here. I never realized in some parts of the country the electrical field is not as respected as it is in New England.
