Pros

-Chaos free management chain -Competitive Pay (in industry)

Cons

-Terrible work/life balance. The shifts are either early morning graveyard or late night graveyard with scarcely any in between. The current active bids are 6pm-2am, 1pm-9pm, or 2am-10am. -Pay to surplus value ratio is way out of wack. We move millions of dollars of freight every week and are barely paid $35k a year after tax. This is one of the best paying non technical jobs in Portland. -Upper management does not care about you nor do they treat you as a human being. Extremely strict attendance policy. This job is the perfect symbol of everything late stage capitalism is. Ruthless attention to numbers, disregard of employees well being, and terrible pay. This job will break you.

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
