My company (Zodiac Seats US LLC (formerly Weber Aircraft)) seems to always be hiring assemblers. Its up in Gainesville and the hours can be kind of ridiculous but if you don't mind the commute and being part of a union I think the pay is decent and you'll have plenty of opportunities for overtime.

I know that and back in Australia I was doing great with that mentality, I spent years at my previous jobs and my loyalty paid off for me. The problem I've been having here is a string of jobs where I haven't been paid, despite staying loyal and remaining there for weeks without paychecks. I love being loyal to my job but the fact is, not many companies in the US are loyal to their employees.
I'm not expecting to just fall into a manager role or a high-paying position, all I want really is a job where I can work hard and get paid for doing so. So please, if you know a company that actually looks after their employees and I will be rewarded for being loyal please let me know lol.

Lol, will do. Gainesville is a long-ass way...
I'm starting to lean towards something manual labor I think, no stupid customers, no hassle or bullshit, just go to work and WORK and get a decent check each week..
