Decent pay, but run by a bunch of frat boys.

Dock worker

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Competitive pay, nobody is watching your productivity too closely.

Cons

Management is a bunch of immature guys. They only hire men right out of college or men from other companies. You cannot advance in the company if you are over 30 years old. There is zero accountability, and a handful of workers get stuck doing everything while others goof off all day.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good Pay for a part-time employee, occasional free food on a long day but only if it goes to higher up employees and there is left overs

Cons

Treat their employees like straight trash and fire people for doing the right thing. Take sides of seniority positions even if it's against their own code of conduct and the law.

Pros

If you are looking for a company where you can pack in a lot of hours for great pay, this is the place for you.

Cons

Aside from the pay, management could care less about your personal life. All they care about is their numbers.
