      Just Wanted The Experience

      Logistics supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - The exercise was a plus - Very busy, so I was always on my feet, which I didn't mind - Being exposed to people I wouldn't have normally been exposed to

      Cons

      - The theft was jaw-dropping. Couldn't do a thing about it, other than submit a bs report to the powers that be - The work hours - I hated missing big fights and football games. - Very busy, so I was always on my feet, which I didn't mind - Employees who just didn't care - supervisors who were doped up on drugs - Being exposed to people I wouldn't have normally been exposed to ;-)
