Pros

Work here if you like walking into a bee hive every day of your life. The only perk is that you enjoy above-average pay (union contract) for a very hazardous job in an incredibly difficult environment.

Cons

Management has an aggressive, overbearing, union-busting mentality. They focus on harassing and overworking their skeleton crew of workers, or 'bodies' as they referred to us, instead of employee safety issues. Five major accidents occurred during my seven year tenure, including a major fire and two massive chemical spills that each leached into a local creek, killing everything downstream for over a mile. Hundreds of hours of federally-mandated, on-the-clock training also adds to an already intense workload.

Pros

Company has good potential----just don't think it will ever be realized. Excellent infastructure of warehouses and freight lanes that could set it apart from the competition, but internal strife has "felled the giant"!

Cons

Good ole boy network! All new management of buddies who don't listen to the long term employees has driven this once great company into the ground. Employees are not valued. Consultants have made all the $$$ while those who know what needs to be done are pushed down, ignored, and left the company. Anyone who has remained is heartbroken to see what has happened, and feels hopeful, but are giving up hope.

Pros

Paid Time Off is the only PRO

Cons

Managers play favorites and have been labeled “The Mean Girls” club. Many people in the department are looking for other jobs. Very unprofessional group of leaders who will never be held accountable for how they treat people. It’s disgusting.
