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

Good pay ,benefits ,and people. Can move up/on to other positions. Education reimbursement too

Cons

Heavier boxes ,also awkward sizes that are large! Then step up into truck with those heavy n awkward boxes.12 hr days, not 10 as posted in job application box. Supposedly contracting out soon so be careful if choose this job.cant follow procedures for truck loading safety bc in reality it’s that’s not how it’s done on trucks bc everyday is a rush (they say it isn’t though)
