Cons

a terrible company to work for the use of pto is terrible. can’t request a day off without using ur paid time off then when ur paid time off is gone you get no days off even with months of notice. terrible dock conditions. terrible forklifts. management is backwards. the promotion within is based on favoritism and not skill and experience.

Pros

I don't have anything really to add here. I guess I have some flexibility in my department but that's about it.

Cons

The pay is weak, the insurance is awful, the technology is severely lacking, the job advancement opportunities are there but no one wants to take them because the requirements are insane especially for the few benefits and low pay.

Pros

the pay is good and that's it period!

Cons

Vindictive management, you are not treated with any kind of dignity or respect and your always treated in a demeaning manner and always spoken down to by members of management the vast majority of managers just sit on their backsides and bark out mindless orders they do not communicate with lower level employees or provide them with necessary and vital work information such as shift & schedule details,management never accepts responsibility for their failures or miscommunication EVER! they will always throw somebody else under the bus even if they are completely innocent any wrongdoing whatsoever and will even go so far as to call you a liar straight to your face should you deny their claims against you and stand up for yourself when they decide to dump the blame in your lap for whatever issue they are having AND IF you stick up for yourself instead keeping your head down it won't be long before they run you out of there or find a reason to fire you or flat out make your job & life miserable any way they can! Favoritism runs rampant each manager has their own little clique and pets which is the cause for a lot of backbiting and creates a hostile environment, those pets i mentioned will deliberately go out of their way to be disrespectful push your buttons to get a rise out of you and even will go so far as to get you fired if they happen to dislike you for any reason, Technology is unreliable computers always crash and an error is made you will be reprimanded in a very demeaning nature by management for something completely beyond your control. Osha and company safety protocols are not enforced at all Managers do not train anyone even though they should they don't want to be bothered training is left up to other low level employees usually the manager little pet whom simply use training new hires as an excuse to slack off and wander around or hang out with their buddies they will treat you like are their personal servant and you will learn absolutely nothing from them Nobody performs preshift equipment checks even though its mandatory if something goes wrong part timers catch the blame for it. overtime starts after 55hrs not after 40 which is just a way to screw you out of money if your fulltime you will almost always work over 40 but not over 55 & since the you are payed every week the likelihood of picking up overtime is almost nonexistent but make no mistake you will work over 40hrs and run yourself ragged for no good reason and have no life outside of work
