Typical warehouse work
Long hours , long shifts . They do pay during breaks which is nice . It’s decent money for short term cash but definitely not a job I see a career in.

Poor place to work
Managers think they can talk to you how they want, long hours not a good job if you want to spend time with your family. They don't appreciate you if you go the extra mile, i was there for 5 months & i see so so many drivers quit. Job isnt worth the stress that comes with it they pay good money but cant keep the drivers, managers think there better then everyone else id avoid this job.

They seem to earn their positions through length of service, not ability to leader or motivate their workers. Staff are miserable, can't...
