I work there as a union pipefitter to be able to make a good living and support my family.

The air quality, work conditions, and quality of life are a concern for me at all times. Baseball is my passion, not construction.

Local 597 Pipefitters union out of Chicago gives us great pay, benefits, and healthcare.

The uniforms were comfortable and the displays were updated frequently enough that the information as always up to date for the customers as well as being visually appealing.

The standards were poor and they seemed to have minimal interest in maintaining a positive representation of their brand within independent establishments beyond advertising updates. Ensuring employees were treated fairly and the establishments were clean seemed to be at the bottom of their list.

Regular customers who came in and made the job enjoyable. Otherwise the job itself did not offer any benefits.
