Pros

The money was good, benefits great.

Cons

The hierarchy of upper management was ridiculous. Far too many chiefs and not enough Indians. I was there 10 months April '22 through February '23 . The position is in my opinion, far more clerical than managerial. There are many responsibilities that keep you tethered to a computer sitting in a chair. I did not appreciate the lack of respect for work life balance. I did not appreciate the trips to Indianapolis to do things that to me were pointless. Sometimes I felt like the upper management just wanted to hear themselves talk. The shop was understaffed because the wages offered were not competitive. Tough to meet maintenance goals when you are missing 40% of the staff you are supposed to have. Much of the equipment we were working on was older with the issues assorted with high mileage trucks, trailers and dollies. I found the anticipated goals to be unattainable, and this creates tantamount stress.

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)
