Pros

I chose this job for its part time hours and its 20/hr pay. I wanted to spend more time at home pursuing illustration and other creative freelance endeavors. This job allows me to pay my bills. I've never driven forklift before, but now I am several months in and it's becoming easier.

Cons

The building I drive forklift in is not temperature-controlled. Winter is coming and it's about to become an ice box. I'm going to have to prepare for this so I can bundle up properly. I hate being cold so I'm going to wear layers and might even buy a heated vest and heated gloves. Another con, everytime you're on the dockfloor (where the forklifts run) you are risking your safety. However, it is protocol and the norm for all forklift operators to prioritize safety above all.

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)
