Pros

You will get lots of hours, 50 - 55 hours a week no problem. It is a very laid back work environment, without very much micro managing. Health and Dental insurance are decent.

Cons

No overtime until after you have worked there for 3 years. Yes really, they won't pay you overtime after 40 hours and no it is not illegal. No vacation for your first year. 2nd and 3rd shift are the only options for dock workers. It's a revolving door for both management and hourly employees.

Pros

At the terminal level, people are friendly and very focused on doing their job well. Everyone has their quirks but for the most part people work hard and do as they need to.

Cons

Suits in Rock Island are very keen on making decisions regarding terminal-level staff on a last-minute basis, often resulting in mass firings in random waves. Turnover tends to be very high and different parts of the terminal are always constantly short staffed. Pay is low for the level of work required and recognition for performance is never met with a pay increase or acknowledgment from management.
