The way the automotive industry is always effing workers in the A, I think you would be better off at Apple, but then again how sweet would it be to work at our Mecca? I guess it wouldnt hurt to apply, you can always turn it down and you can just stay at apple if you dont get the job

i would apply now while you got the chance, you can always turn the job down later if they offer it to you

no idea at all on the pay difference, i make 10.15 right now, and will be getting another raise soon, cause i have been at my current location for a year this tuesday, i dunno, i have the option of moving up in my company right now once the position opens, so i may just stay where i am...

apply and if they interview you tell them what you would need to make the move as far as a better job.....pay, hours, benefits, ability to move up, ability to go to school for training etc, etc and if they will do it go.
