Pros

Job flexibility, great way to meet people and network

Cons

- management wants to pretend that customers issues are trivial and only want to help large customers and ignore smaller ones - so many issues in the warehouse and with drivers instead of treating people decent and offering better pay they force them to work longer and harder and at the end of the day the customers and staff are the ones that suffer. - sales job without commissions, people quit and get fired and the other sales reps are required to take on more business with no additional pay - promotions and spiffs are non existent - DSMs micromanage and create their own policies to get ahead and are very quick to Throw their team under the bus.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
