Pros

If you need a below industry standards paycheque, then this is the place.

Cons

Micromanaged by manager(s) that have no comprehension or knowledge of the workings of a transport dock. Even worse was the bureaucracy and bully tactics used to intimidate and demean people. Not really surprising since I had conversations with management that made it glaringly obvious that there was no respect or empathy towards the people who worked there. This was easily the most unhealthy and unhappy work environment I’ve ever been a part of. Now that my tenure there is finished I feel relieved and in all honesty, glad that chapter of my career is over. Only wish I could be there to witness the mass exodus of staff in the next week or so who have all found other employment and will be quitting (to the utter ignorance of said management).

Pros

Safety conscious in theory, not in practice. Run at full-thottle to move required number of pallets. Compensation good, with a con. Benefits great, if you make it past probationary period. My damage ratio was practically zero, of which, I'm proud. I have seen forklift operators knock down a bay of 60 pallets, to be charged as damaged product. Of course, they're never seen again.

Cons

12 hour straight shifts. 4 days on, 4 days off. Every other month, because of their week ending schedule, your hours were split over 2 pay periods. Losing 8 hours overtime. That works out to alot of wages. Very upsetting. 2 10 minute breaks in a 12 hour shift. Gooble down a sandwich, and climb back onboard. Because everyone is individually graded, team concept was non-existant. 20 forklifts moving at full thottle. Many close calls.I began to give right of way, which affected my output, leading to my demise. I saw 20 faces come and go in the time I was there. They are constantly advertising for employees.
