Pros

The frontline employees are amazing. Work-Life Balance was good for some, not others. It really depends on the position. Working there before the pandemic was amazing and there was great leadership all the way up to corporate. That is not the case now.

Cons

After the pandemic the company lot it's vision with the change of CEO. They were fixing things that were not broken. They went away from the employees voicing needing changes to not listening at all. It is really unfortunate as it brought the morale down throughout the facility. Benefits changed to the company the CEO left from and were horrible. Holidays changed and really screwed over the warehouse and drivers. Many others have left as well due to this shift. It's not the same as it was a few years ago and it was hard to leave, but when you see something turning toxic and work-life balance is talked about, but not something practiced, it's disheartening.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
