Pros

Free food sometimes, nice people, free parking.

Cons

The cons outweigh the pros, no contest. Upper management likes to micromanage the most insignificant issues, yet when we really need them to address critical problems- they're nowhere to be found; they leave you to fend for yourself despite the complete LACK of control that you're given of the situations. Not to mention, there is a lot of "finger pointing". Large communication gaps amongst departments, and misaligning goals. Awful culture, not going to change anytime soon. Behind the times by light years. You're not given a voice on decisions that will directly impact your daily job, management is aware of that, yet they are doing nothing but dangling empty promises to your face. They give false hope to keep naive people, those who know better see right through it. Lastly, antiquated systems. If you want to be a top contributor in the supply chain world, you cannot cut corners. Learn to invest in world class softwares like other companies. Outdated systems make the job needlessly complex for employees who have to use it everyday. Actually, the whole department specializes in unnecessarily complicated procedures, efficiency is not their forte. Companies with strong supply chains do not NEED have to multiple systems just to keep up with demand.

Pros

Great pay, easy work, plenty of hours.

Cons

Some of the people who work in the warehouses are lazy and they have the so called manager wrapped around their finger, So you end up doing their job and yours. The manager won’t do anything because he is just as lazy as the warehouse guy. And is scared of the consequences if he actually does his job and disciplines the sorry ———‘s So the real workers are the only ones that suffer. That very manager told me two weeks before becoming the manager over the shipping department that he didn’t think he would become the manager because he had already told the other managers that we have to stop over working our real workers to cover up for our non workers. I told him that night he would be the same way as soon as he got the position, And if he did that I would be the first to tell him. Point being: If you are a lazy piece of trash and have no self respect or work ethics this is the place for you. Bad thing is that you can not get in touch with anyone that has any interest in cleaning up (this particular terminal ) of a very good company.
