Pros

The biggest pro is that I don’t work here anymore 401(k) Match was good

Cons

The people are disrespectful. You’ll receive a heavy, outdated computer that you’ll need a wheelbarrow to transport. The company is so outdated that you may end up chiseling your signature into a rock as an approval. My manager tells me that it’s my job to make people from other departments do their job. This job is all Indians and no chiefs. The VP is involved in the day to day functions of an analyst. I’ve never seen that before. There’s no leadership, despite the titles. Most of the people have never worked anywhere else so they’re accustomed to, accepting of, and comfortable with, extreme dysfunction. If you point out their inefficiencies, they’ll take it personally and attack you. Managers are not promoted based on their leadership skills. They’re put in management positions based on their willingness to accept and navigate the company’s chaos. It’ll be interesting to see how many of these so-called leaders remain in their positions following the recent acquisition by Smurfit Kappa. The salaries are competitive, but all money ain’t good money. Also, leaders from Smurfit Kappa are ending WFH to reduce headcount. Many people will now quit and Smurfit Kappa will offer considerably less in pay.

Pros

Great pay, easy work, plenty of hours.

Cons

Some of the people who work in the warehouses are lazy and they have the so called manager wrapped around their finger, So you end up doing their job and yours. The manager won’t do anything because he is just as lazy as the warehouse guy. And is scared of the consequences if he actually does his job and disciplines the sorry ———‘s So the real workers are the only ones that suffer. That very manager told me two weeks before becoming the manager over the shipping department that he didn’t think he would become the manager because he had already told the other managers that we have to stop over working our real workers to cover up for our non workers. I told him that night he would be the same way as soon as he got the position, And if he did that I would be the first to tell him. Point being: If you are a lazy piece of trash and have no self respect or work ethics this is the place for you. Bad thing is that you can not get in touch with anyone that has any interest in cleaning up (this particular terminal ) of a very good company.
