Well first off you start as a temp, your days consist of constantly trying to improve LMS scores.

Forklift operator

Business Outlook

Pros

Good coworkers. Two 15 min breaks one 30 min lunch, your life is over due to the constant OT. Good luck having free time.

Cons

Bad management, no seniority, constant mandatory OT, lack of consistency through shifts, good workers under appreciated, Good scores on LMS will only prevent you from making extra money they will take you out of it and underappreciated good workers end up getting the worst jobs. Your day consists of babysitter's (supervisor's) watching your every move when they have no idea how to work the technology your best friends are the coordinators because they actually do work. Recent upper management has failed terribly and no chance of it getting better because they hand pick supervisor's, ops managers, and so on. You get no credit for being a good worker
