Logistics Coordinator - 2nd Shift
Pros
You get a paycheck and have access to a free gym. Very relaxed work environment. PTO is very generous despite this being the worst job that I've ever had.
Cons
If you are hired at the Gainesville, GA office you will start out as a night dispatcher working 4 to midnight. At the onset you will be sold on how sexy sales is and you will be regaled with how one guy a few years ago made it to sales in 4 weeks. This is an outlier. You will be on nights for a year minimum making 14 dollars an hour. The job is very menial and repetitive. You will be treated like a secretary by the sales reps and most drivers are going to be curt or abusive because, well, truck drivers. For a time this is ok because you're just paying your dues and waiting for your turn. In my own personal experience my managers waited 10 months to tell me that I didn't have a future with the company as a salesman and was not given an alternate career path to work towards. I wasn't given a reason why I did not have a future there and was told 'we don't want you to think you're next to go to the day shift.' as my only professional feedback. Be prepared to work with children who have no discernible skills besides throwing paper balls and lying to truck drivers. Not a professional environment at all. Nepotism is rife. One of my peers who literally watched porn on their work computer and rarely took incoming calls was moved upward about a week before I left. I am still wondering what it is I did to not have a future there but quitting was downright a pleasure.
