Pros

Good pay and overall decent benefits

Cons

There are never enough people employed to do all the work necessary, and yet senior leadership still expects an unrealistic level of productivity and quality in spite of this. Office politics were egregious and filtered down even to the levels of jobs in the warehouse, and senior leadership would rather hear themselves compliment one another than actual concerns from employees.

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.
