Better get used to it quick, or quit!

Part time package handler

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits if you stay a while, nice people to work with at times.Always fun to load the truck that delivers to your own neighborhood!

Cons

The distribution center manager is so nice! So are some of the shift supervisors, but they are very pushy! Every misload (getting a package in the wrong truck) which is bound to happen with 2000+ packages a day, they take personally and you seriously end up not caring. Early hours, alot of pay taken out of the paycheck, and it is hot and sweaty!!! ... If you tell them it's just for the summer, they wont hire you.. theyre looking for full time permanent part time loaders, but I can't do it during school!

Very demanding with good compensation

Operations supervisor

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation and benefit package. Friendly environment within most levels of management and hourly employees. Rewarding in the sense of daily accomplishments and development of management skills.

Cons

High stress levels based on constantly increased service goals. Demanding workloads that often result in negative feedback for average performance and rarely positive feedback for above average perfomance.

Good Place to learn.

Operations manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great job security and pay is ok. Can easily get promoted as long as you can pass the tests that are administered.

Cons

You will start off at the bottom and that is where the highly physical work is. Back breaking work but they make you well aware of it before you are hired. Sometimes politics come into play when going for a promotion.
