Micromanaging issues and a weak 401k

Material handler/forklift operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Short three and a half day work week. Sometimes plenty of optional OT, especially if you hit rate consistently. If you are an experienced Warehouse employee, rate should be easy.

Cons

The 401K plan is the worst. There's a $35 annual "record keeping fee". It takes 7 days after deduction before your investment option is bought. It takes an entire year before they start matching your contributions; which takes 5 years to be fully vested. The match is only 50% on up to 6% of weekly pay. You need to be there two years before you're even 25% vested. Hourly pay is not that competitive anymore for forklift operators. $20 is like minimum wage for this role in 2026 They are way too strict with the micromanaging and the "you have to do things this way" rules. (Rules that don't exist in other warehouses and people do all the time. Like temporarily driving forks first to leave and aisle. So many dumb rules which were only implemented because they hire in mass so many people who don't have any experience or are just bad at the job, so they mess up simple things) Few days but long hours.
