Pros

Decent pay and benefits, my DSM is really laid back.

Cons

If you are a hard worker and really hustle it doesnt pay off because corporate always manages to screw something up on their end. They tell you, that you have access to a huge inventory of specialty items through demand and remote delivery, but when you order for a customer, they are never in stock and never actually arrive. Just makes you look like a fool, and since you cant sell what you dont actually have, affects your bonus. Has a department responsible for helping bid big contract accounts..... but you can have all of your part (10-15 hours of work) done weeks in advance, and sent over to contract department 3 weeks early and they will still miss the deadline.... which, you guessed it, doesnt help you bonus. If you are a bare minimum, likes to just coast along type of person, this place is perfect for you. If you are a driven, high performer you might want to look elsewhere.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
