Pros

Nothing, there is nothing good here to speak of bad work environment bad people bad management. I am not speaking out of anger or spite I'm very serious do not apply here unless you are desperate.

Cons

There is to many things wrong with the place to say i just wanted to write this review to help others avoid applying here, One thing I would like to stress they start you off at $11.00 an hour no exceptions!!! Do not listen to the lies they make about starting at $14.00 it is not true they will double talk and avoid telling you as much as they can.

Pros

Scheduled 4 day shifts per week, with 3 days off.

Cons

Training program for computer system is practically non-existent. New employees are just expected to figure everything out on their own. Often times, the supervisor you relieve from duty is inexperienced or just doesn't care, so you spend your first 4 hours of your shift getting freight loaded that should have been loaded before your shift even started. 12-hour shifts are long and tiring, and don't be surprised if you're required to arrive 30 minutes to an hour early for "meetings" which often times never take place... And stay an extra 15-30 minutes after your shift for randomness of a similar nature. Also, be prepared to do a ton of secretarial work, complete redundant reports, and take photos of trailer load after trailer load because upper management doesn't trust supervisors to load trailers until they're full.

Pros

Benefits are "ok" at best compared to my previous employer, however my previous employer is the largest software manufacturer in the world. They have a gym that's accessible 24hrs a day. The place is relaxed and you can mess around all day long as most of us do.

Cons

EVERYTHING ELSE! The facility is old and falling apart, we have "cleaning crews" that have failed to remove boogers and snot from the walls of the men's restroom since I was hired on 4 months ago. I was hired with the belief that I would make roughly 65-70k/yr, which was inline with my previous employer, only to have nearly all my commission taken away by month 4 due to "compensation restructuring". What they fail to tell you is they are outsourcing operations to the Philipines and they moved all high dollar accounts over to them & removing nearly 70% of all of our commissions.
