Hard work and experience
Multiple Positions (Former Employee), Mason, MI – May 6, 2013
I held multiple positions at Dart Container. I started in the parts crib pulling parts and assemblies for both internal jobs as well as for shipments to our sister plants. I then was promoted to data entry/Sales where I received orders, created invoices as well as data entered the invoices and shipments once pulled and loaded into the trucks. I was – more... then promoted to production planning, helping the Shipping and Handling supervisor with meeting minutes as well as organizing parts lists, organizing jobs and pulls in the shops and distributing work loads.

Management typically favored long term employees. It seemed like no matter how unproductive, crass or bull-headed an employee may be, as long as they were loyal with the company, anything went. This was difficult for me coming in after my first year of college, ready to prove myself to my supervisor only to realize that a handful of us were doing all the work for the 20 or so employees in the area. It was very depressing realizing no matter how hard you worked, those with seniority would receive special treatment regardless of work ethic.

My favorite part of the job were my co-workers and the relaxed environment in the shop.

My least favorite part of the positions were the cramped and untidy work spaces. – less

Very hot and busy
machine operator (Former Employee), waxahachie,tx – October 20, 2012
Pros: worked at my own pace
Cons: working in the extreme heat
A long hot day with no air conditioning operating machines. I learned how to multi-task and pay attention to detail. Management was good. My co-workers were okay. Working in the heat during summer was the hardest part. Enjoyable part was seeing how different products were made for certain companies.

good job turned bad
Commercial Driver (Former Employee), Corona, CA – July 16, 2012
Pros: good home time
Cons: wrong people in management..
Was the best truck driving job I've ever had until a change in management. They hired inept people who was on a power trip and changed the whole atmosphere.. No one in upper management seemed to care or maybe it was too well hidden. Great job that turned out really bad.
