Pros

Weekly pay is nice because it gives you something to look forward to Friendly customers Relaxed uniform Can listen to music while I am in the parking lot Management has upfront conversations with you

Cons

Inconsistent scheduling. I will check my schedule on Monday when it comes out and it will say I only work on Friday and Saturday, which is great. I check again on Tuesday evening to find that I missed a shift on Tuesday morning from 8am-2pm. They almost fired me for not showing up, even though this was never on my schedule to begin with. I show up for my shift on Friday to find I have been "Suspended while management decides whether or not to keep me on board". This would have been understandable if it was on my schedule but it never was and while I wasn't fired for it they had docked me for an occurrence (absence) and denied me a day off I had requested because of it. This happened three more times. Being outside is the most enjoyable part of the job but the management expects you to pick up after all the customers, even though we have a maintenance staff. This includes trash, beer bottles, broken glass, dirty diapers, rotten vegetables, anything you can imagine someone would leave in their basket in the parking lot. Some people are disgusting, man. Being inside I feel as though the management is always staring us down and breathing down our necks. Not to mention the younger male supervisors are always pulling aside the females and having full on conversations with them while we are busy and understaffed, flirting and all. Extremely unprofessional. Not to mention, this past weekend they had me cross trained and I did not receive any compensation for any of it. In conclusion, this place SUCKS.

Pros

None. Get out while you can.

Cons

Houston location has the worst leaders. They're cheap with raises and cut the good people so the management team can get better bonuses. They make up rules that make no sense when they feel like. There are guys in the yard who have no job titles but somehow are still working there doing nothing all day? The safety leads/radio room/management are a joke. They cover up for the people they're buddies with. Ran into the gate? Destroy thousands of dollars of goods or a trailer? Ran out of gas in the middle of the road driving the mule offsite? Not a problem if you're buddies with management and safety. If you're buddies with management, you get opportunities offered to you even though you may be among the worst and slowest spotters. If you're not buddies with management/safety/radio, you have to watch your back. HEB corporate needs to look into management here.
