Pros

-Chaos free management chain -Competitive Pay (in industry)

Cons

-Terrible work/life balance. The shifts are either early morning graveyard or late night graveyard with scarcely any in between. The current active bids are 6pm-2am, 1pm-9pm, or 2am-10am. -Pay to surplus value ratio is way out of wack. We move millions of dollars of freight every week and are barely paid $35k a year after tax. This is one of the best paying non technical jobs in Portland. -Upper management does not care about you nor do they treat you as a human being. Extremely strict attendance policy. This job is the perfect symbol of everything late stage capitalism is. Ruthless attention to numbers, disregard of employees well being, and terrible pay. This job will break you.

Pros

Good pay ,benefits ,and people. Can move up/on to other positions. Education reimbursement too

Cons

Heavier boxes ,also awkward sizes that are large! Then step up into truck with those heavy n awkward boxes.12 hr days, not 10 as posted in job application box. Supposedly contracting out soon so be careful if choose this job.cant follow procedures for truck loading safety bc in reality it’s that’s not how it’s done on trucks bc everyday is a rush (they say it isn’t though)
