The Great Milsap Mistake

Lift truck operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

No one is watching, so you pretty much do what you want. No rule enforcement, no accountability, no problem being your own boss.

Cons

See the Pros. While it may seem fun, not holding people accountable makes life difficult for those of us trying to do the right thing. If given a choice, choose the new building. New management at the RMC has no clue what they are doing. Mgr. hides in his office when not walking around cussing out employees. Operation Milsap is a joke. Also have to watch for the 750 lb man come down from HQ, he likes to throw his weight around (ouch) when he's not stuffing food down his throat. Sound like sour apples? It is, been here 15 years and I'm watching the place go to hell quickly. Oh yeah, kiss your private life good bye, we've pretty much been working OT every day & weekend. No more give-aways, minimal raises and lack of appreciation.

Pros

Decent starting pay. Was over $14 when I worked there but it looks like they haven't increased pay in over 10 yrs. Good insurance. It started off as a good job...

Cons

New mgnt came in. (Name Removed) pissed off everyone. Nothing could be done right by his standard. Ended up getting blamed for damaging a machine that was set up incorrectly not by me. Once you were in his sites, kiss your job goodbye. Production quotas are unrealistic and only increased every month. When you had production issues mgnt was no help for helping you learn how to work better.
