Pros

Its a great place to work for this type of job. I didn't mind the hard labor work and the benefits are great! you start out with 2 weeks vacation and can buy up to one more week after your 90 days ( a total of 3 weeks! ) for about $10-$12 a paycheck not many places give you 2 weeks let alone 3 without putting 10+ years in the company first. You automatically get 3 weeks after 5 years and still have the option to buy an extra week. You get paid on how fast you work so base pay is $14 an hour and if you have prior warehouse selecting experience (USFOODS, Sysco, etc.) and know how to operate a double or triple pallet jack you can make up to $23/hour within your first 2 weeks. Standard work schedule is supposed to be 4-10s (work 4 days 10 hour shifts) from 7am to when finished ideal time is 5pm.

Cons

I hope this varies per location. The bad? Well management is not that great..the company usually hires within first which is understandable but they will hire people who have never stepped into a warehouse or know the operations or just plain lazy people who just want to sit in the office without doing anything. They lack leadership and guidance and are not held responsible for any mistakes or problems that keep reoccurring under their supervision. HR I feel like they could step up and put them on a action plan or make them take some type of management or leadership classes but I fail to see them do anything other than hire more people to fill the problem. THE HOURS! You will work anywhere between 50-70+ hours A WEEK. Unless your married or have kids you'll be fine, but they will work you to death. They do not care about your health or anything about you as long as "the job gets done" or you brown nose them. The current supervisor doesn't seem to care about anything as long as your just working..even if its a 15+ hour day he'll be gone by 5pm. The other supervisor well he's just trying to hold out until his military benefits kick in so he doesn't really put much effort into doing the right thing or his job at all..Oh and they just laugh and talk crap behind employees back if they're having any issues or problems inside or outside of work. I don't know maybe they've been through so much crap themselves before getting the position and gave up on trying to make a difference or better work place, but I guess we'll never know. Career advancement! They will cross train you if you ask and if there's availability and when you do they will make you do other jobs without proper pay and make you stay until all operations is done even if its not your job. Your only advancement will be within the warehouse so unless that's your goal i would work towards something else.
