As a newbie on YCS, what will be my starting shift? They said 6 days 12 hour shift. On average, how much do I get in tips per day? How much salary do I get bi-weekly before tips?

Auto Mechanic

If I know nothing about cars, how can I tell if a mechanic is ripping me off?

Claims Adjuster

What happens when NEITHER driver is at fault?

Toymaker

With all the high-tech kids toys, is there still a demand for traditional ones?

I just got hired with your company and have loved your advice. I am starting on the 12:30 am shift, and advice, and what can I expect to make on average on that shift. Is your pick up/drop off still good on that shift?

Asked by adunja almost 13 years ago

On that shift you need to learn which clubs are open the night before and dont work the airport until about 10. Mgm is never a bad bet after like 6 lots of checkouts. Also a good idea to be aware of convention schedule the last day and after last day will have multiple check outs. That shift is bad do your best to get a later shift. That is the worse shift to be in, and the worse time of year...hang in there it gets better
