Was not fully aware of how much manual labor was involved in the job description. Surprising when you go to school for a Bachelor's degree to be an upgraded yard person. Job is high stress and there is a lot of turnover. You feel as if management does not care about lower level employees which depletes overall work morale. Not an easy company to work for, but if you can last for a while, any other job is almost an upgrade. You may get lucky enough to work for a great manager and with great people, but if not, your life is going to be hell.

Interview
The interview process was about 20 minutes and all took place at the front desk with a single interviewer who would be the supervisor. It was less of an interview and more of a preliminary checklist of what's expected of the position.

Question 1
Simple prewritten questions with little answer besides yes or no needed.
Easy and very pressure free, Lou was the branch manager and he was very personal and informal. Showed me around the lumbar yard as well which was great to see considering the work environment
