Pros

Amazing people who work there considering the conditions. They make a lot of money for their stock holders. Used to be solid pay but that has gone backwards the past 3-4 years. If you own a restaurant you should buy from them. Flexible schedule- you can work your 16 hrs a day anytime you want.

Cons

HR dept. has lost it- not sure its their fault as it's gone from 5 people to 2. I worked there for over 15 yrs and it just didn't make sense anymore- love hard work but now you can actually get paid for working hard. good sales people dropping like flies- too bad really- hopefully they get it turned around. Since John Nolan left its gone down the tube-

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.
