Well first off you start as a temp, your days consist of constantly trying to improve LMS scores.

Forklift operator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good coworkers. Two 15 min breaks one 30 min lunch, your life is over due to the constant OT. Good luck having free time.

Cons

Bad management, no seniority, constant mandatory OT, lack of consistency through shifts, good workers under appreciated, Good scores on LMS will only prevent you from making extra money they will take you out of it and underappreciated good workers end up getting the worst jobs. Your day consists of babysitter's (supervisor's) watching your every move when they have no idea how to work the technology your best friends are the coordinators because they actually do work. Recent upper management has failed terribly and no chance of it getting better because they hand pick supervisor's, ops managers, and so on. You get no credit for being a good worker

Cons

Profile experienced workers to low ball pay grade for slave treatment (no respect, lies, manipulate success so cliques can gossip and backstab), can take credit for your work in file count via working you as slave while a whole salary is paid to member of clique in OT pay on top of their salary without issue, management will not put in writing SOP so can play games between level of training and long term success of your employee, do not use yes employeement cause they are part of this three new people always hired to fire so cliques can keep going, it is a waste of time to attempt to try this company that is now going to be centralized lime other ff due to management unethical treatment without suffice reason other than her life sucks so she makes your life suck too to push you out the door. Get everything in writing to protect yourself from demeaning verbal abuse as you are buried in a work load that only keeps her job... You will never be printed out of department
