Pros

Pay is very good You get forklift certified Work is not too bad, building/tearing down decking in trailers and loading/unloading freight.

Cons

Morning shift started at 5 am, and would only last till 9:30 or 10:00, so most weeks were about 22 hours of work, Tuesday to Saturday. Evening shift is a bit better, start around 4pm and work till 9 or 10. This led to checks being about $300 each week. Room to advance, but you have to put in a lot of time to do so, which means several years to get the next position. Lots of ghetto workers that drive the forklifts like madmen, very unsafe at Houston Jackrabbit Rd location.

Pros

- Insurance benefits are offered to part time employees - Pay is sufficient based on being part time - Management will send some communications regarding big picture matters - There is some leniency regarding calling out of work

Cons

- The requirement to maintain insurance is becoming more difficult - Employees are not paid the same rate simply based on tenor rather than qualifications - Management will rarely, if ever, address direct employee concerns - Leniency for calling out only seems to apply for certain employees - There is no standard of training or written expectations readily available once hired
