Pros

Paid well for a job that requires no past experience, work is mostly unsupervised unless they see you do somethingwrong, very good benefits for a part time job

Cons

hard work doesn't getyou promoted, being friends with the supers does, you'll get screwed when freight is slow (as few as 2-3 hours day ifyou're used to 6), only 2nd and 3rd shifts are available as a dockworker, hard to move up

Pros

They have great benefits. They offer education for those looking to grow in different positions. It's diverse, a place for all.

Cons

Some overnight hours and the pressure of getting customers freight out in time.

Pros

Good job for learning the stresses and demands of a salaried leadership position. Benefits are good. Good co-workers.

Cons

Decent pay, but does not match the work. When broken down, supervisors make less per hour than those they supervise. (and that's only considering the hours you are scheduled to work) Rather than hiring, they make salaried employees work longer days to cover for missing employees with absolutely no recognition or extra pay. (Paid for "50 hr week" and you eventually begin to view a 50 hr week as a gift from above.) Seems as though they feel that we're getting by like this, so why hire more? You don't know you're working a 12-16 hr day until your scheduled 10 hrs are almost over. Call in sick one time and you are belittled and insulted over the phone, along with having your job threatened. Push safety and quality all the while telling you to push your employees almost to the breaking point because they are not moving fast enough.
