So I am trying to see if there are any mercedes technicians on the forums and what you guys think about working for benz?

how long have you been a tech?
what dealership/area you at?
hows the pay/benefits?


Looking to get into the ELITE program and seeing what you all thought about the company.....


thanks

hey i have been a tech for about 5 years now.......i have worked 2 years with VW and now 3 years with MB. i work for mb of morristown in new jersey. i am paid very well but the benefits could be better. i don't know how other dealers are with there benefits. if u know anything about cars than i would say just continue to work on them and get hand on expierence. i think the elite program is a waste of time.....we have 3 elite techs and only 1 of them is any good. i missed the elite program by 1 question and i am happy i did because i don't think i would be in my position if i went to elite. overall i think that mb is a pretty decent company but they do make some poor choices which effect the techs the most. since we all get paid flat rate there poor choices effect our pockets and the dealers pockets.

 

i have been 7 years on mercedes-benz dealership and 3 years from bmw dealership.
working for mercedes-benz is good to gain more knowledge and update yourself from continous training and seminar. the fun on technology is endless to explore... new things everyday.
i am on eastern area of china (coastal region) working as tech advisor for 5 dealership.

i am paid presently $1500/month
benifets are free fully furnished accomodation, car, 13th month pay, 1 month yearly holiday with pay, insurance, round trip economy ticket, and house bills such as electric, tel, water, and gas.

 

So you can afford a new bicycle when you need one.

 

cheap ones which can't hurt my pocket if stolen...yes.

but i can't hardly make ends meet since cost of living is getting higher.

everything back there in philippines is getting high... except for the president who is 4 feet 8 inches tall.

You would probably make $60-$80,000 per year in California and be broke there too. I guess it depends on where you would rather live.
