So is the test something you get selected for? I applied several weeks ago, but when I log in, it said my app is still "under review" ???

 

Yes. Being asked to take the test is the first step in the selection process.

 

Ok thanks. Thought I was missing out on the party or something lol!

 

Pay Day-

I've been at Atlas for 8 months now.. Total YTD Just over $18,000

Buyer beware

 

That doesn't even make sense. 4 months on training pay is 6,400 and 4 months at min guarantee is 16,000. Total 22,400. So...you made 20% less than absolute min guarantee?

Maybe you're talking take home pay...which is still hard to believe...but if you're going to quote take home pay you need to detail your tax/deductions, insurance, and 401k situation for the full picture.

I find it hard to believe anybody that has been around for 8 months has not been averaging 75+ hours of pay(6,000/month) for at least 3-4 of those months.

 

I've been here 7 months and my gross is $22,029.59. I've only broken guarantee 1 time and my gross includes $1,354.21 of medical opt out incentive pay....

 

What was the first 3-4 months and what was the last few?

 

Well- waiting for OE for 4 months with no perdiem. I assure you I am not lying.

My first pay check fell in Early April with Atlas.

 

Im approaching 4 years with Atlas. I gave a breakdown of my pay earlier in this thread, no need to re-hash that.
I will summarize it in general terms, when I'm doing my budget and estimating what my check will be ahead of time before the official report comes out, I clear 59% of my gross, and then add per diem which is roughly $800 for 17 days of work. Folks who are incredulous as to how little that comes out to be must live in their parents basement and may not understand the real world. I contribute 10% for the 401k in order to maximize the company contribution and pay for the family health plan. This is what any responsible individual should do. Atlas is a big boy job, not contributing to a 401k or opting out of health insurance in order to get a decent pay check are things 21 year olds do when they start out at a regional. You can make a fair living here but don't let the hourly wage fool you. We have zero work rules to go with it and zero soft time. All in all makes for an unimpressive wide body paycheck, regardless of longevity.

 

Are there positives at Atlas that keep you there?
