I would tend to think that varies from corporation to corporation and work structure to work structure. Union, non-union and a lot of things can come to influence what "entry level" is. I could be wrong but an intern or co-op at D*** Energy may be asked to help with housekeeping. IIRC a "No, I'm an engineering candidate" response is usually countered with something akin to "Not at D*** you're not."
At my company, the Site VP leads by example and expects everyone to act as a team. I don't think I've ever seen him walk to his car and NOT pick up some small piece of trash left in the parking lot. Likewise, as a former submariner...no one has to "tell me" to pick up a piece of trash left on the floor regardless of my title, their title, union, non-union, who's watching me, who isn't, etc.
If you think you're better than the "Janitors", who are making a fraction of what a NLO makes, and who are occasionally threatened with "budget cuts" and "layoffs" while doing a largely thankless job, then you have no appreciation for what YOU have and are probably the first to start whining when that janitor is laid off or has his contract cut. Many of the janitors at my site are genuine, sincere people trying to feed their families, but do so with a frequent "hello, how are you today" as we all flock to our next meeting. I did my time as a "janitor" (i.e., thankless entry level job)...and my hope is that every high school graduate has to fight his/her way up the ranks a bit and "do their time". It's the starting point to learning a fleeting trait in the 21st century: humility.
"Entry-Level" is not a dirty word...it's reality, but be careful how you use it. It's not a professional status that needs to be used to your NLOs as a means of saying "hey, keep it up and soon you'll be as good as me". NLOs are VERY hard working, knowledgable people that will likely save your butt one day (and hopefully the SRO will save his/her if needed). (Better stated by the Forum's newest SRO: Justin). In fact, I hope to hear from Justin in a few years how he had taken a few NLOs under his wing, mentored them through GFES, and helped some of them into his Control Room as a licensed operator. I hope to hear from that NLO that posts on here, "hey this ex-Navy guy came in, kicked butt on licensing, and then turned about to help ME get a license too!!!) If those of you poking at ex-Navy junior officers and Chiefs as "janitors" did that then there wouldn't be such an industry demand for navy nuclear supervisory experience. Meanwhile, since you're not adequately mentoring the junior, unlicensed operators, your corporate nuclear managers ARE actively seeking ex-Navy nukes to be SROs...regardless of the personal opinion, sometimes laden with a hint of disgruntled "FTN" that gets posted here.
Personally, I continue to cringe every time that word (janitor) is used in this forum. It's condescending, unprofessional of us as a community, and it only serves to show the thousands of silent, anonymous visitors to this very well-known Forum that there are some disgruntled "old men" that have nothing better to do than to pick on someone that doesn't know any better.
