Pros

Nice bathrooms and break areas even though the team member write on the walls like children. Recently remodeled offices and break areas that was neglected for decades. New forklifts.

Cons

Senior management is terrible. Safety manager is clueless, short, and never there. General manager was brought into Gastonia after his DC was shut down. He couldn't handle the position, so they moved him to HR manager. Make that make sense... He is now terrible at being a HR manager.

Pros

It’s a pretty easy job, very fun people to work with. Hours as a driver are pretty consistent.

Cons

The pay isn’t great. It would be nice if the drivers were making at least $17 or $18 an hour. Also benefits don’t extend to health insurance only dental and vision if you are only considered part-time. Anybody that isn’t the GM, CPP, and RPP are considered part-time, regardless of the hours you get.
