Pros

Starting pay at $22, not bad at all. No weekends.

Cons

How many hamsters can you throw into a cage before they're tripping over each other? 15 hamsters. Imagine 25 hamsters and you will have seen a typical day at R+L Carriers. Loads are not secured properly with straps. If the loads are not secured, the freight handler spends unnecessary time re-stacking the pallet. If this happened every now and again it wouldn't be an issue. It is an every day problem. Management is "aware of the issue", except when it comes to your having low productivity. R+L is simultaneously aware yet willfully ignorant. Why wouldn't other R+L terminals use straps? Then I remembered that we are constantly on the hunt for straps at our terminal. R+L's negligence is now your problem. Deal with it, I guess? They are trying to cut costs where they can. Is R+L not a profitable company? Or are they just plain greedy? R+L, please have some consideration for your employees. Give them the tools to do the job.

Pros

Benefits are decent, co workers are nice

Cons

Hiring people who do not care and put in very little effort. There are a lot of tasks assigned to CSRs and very little downtime to take care of them. The phone rings off the hook.
