Pros

401k matching and contribution, boot allowance, air conditioning, Work-life balance

Cons

Look out during the interview. He is not above lying to get you interested in a job. Everything is a big secret. Top-out for pay "It is very high, we don't need to talk about it." No real path for career growth. If you ask he can't tell you what needs to be completed to move up in rank or position. The manager micromanages everything and heavily plays favorites. Might get stuck in his office for hours while he answers emails or calls instead of discussing what you are called in talk about. Empty promises of extra pay for tasks. For example, the company has its own training programs. "If you complete these courses we might be able to get a raise. Maybe $.10-.25 a class." Then a year and a half after you complete some, We are still discussing that. The manager hires out most jobs. Anymore they just want you to be a hand on the grease gun.

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.
