Fast paced some days, but most days barely enough work and boredom sets in.

Pros

The pay was decent, for the easiness of the job. However you’d often work 10+ hrs a day 5 days per week, and won’t get any overtime from it.

Cons

You can’t leave your duty city until 5pm each day, which means you must must sit in your van waiting from 2pm some days until you can even head back to the warehouse. My city was 40 minutes away, so I had to wait until rush hr before heading back to okc... sucked. Some people I worked with had a duty city of Tecumseh, Lawton, or even Stillwater. They couldn’t make it back to the warehouse until 730pm every day.

Business Outlook

Pros

A job in Obama era hard time. Medical benefits for the cost of union dues.

Cons

The low level supervisors do not reward hard work and let slackers get away with slacking. Middle management is incompetent and do not care to change. Upper management has no clue about getting the job done. Union shop but union does not care about employees. Less about part timers. Shop stewarts tell you one thung but will not back you if you follow their instruction. Employee guaranteed hours by union contract but when daily work is finished management will clock out employee without paying contracted hours.
