Warehouse clerk

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay, interesting work at times

Cons

HOT working conditions in the summer! Supervisors don't realize a good employee and show favoritism for others. Refuse to rehire someone due to personal opinions yet keep needing to retrain new employees to do the same job.

Business Outlook

Pros

compressed schedule. that's literally it there is no room to grow as the team is very small.

Cons

middle management is a joke, rampant favrotisim, and I really cant stress this part enough NO training you will shadow someone but their will not train you explicitly and they WILL jump down your throat for making the slightest mistakes the system is such that it can track any movements with names and they will track you down. the culture is very back bitey everyone and anyone will blow your candle out to make theirs look brighter. in addition the culter is very "pass the buck" sense your name is on everything everyone's goal is to get their name off it and give it to some one eles thus they can not be faulted
