      Ridiculous Pay for extremely hard and dangerous work.

      Pros

      Great Benefits but REALLY LOUSY PAY!

      Cons

      Lousy pay, Supervisors very cold with employees, Most Supervisors appointed to their department without experience in that new department. Safety with the fork trucks is a BIG issue! I almost got killed and no one did a thing. The person who ran into my forklift was given a drug test on the spot, and then sent right back to work on the forklift. No concern from my Supervisor AT ALL!
