Great Re-Start
Clerical Assistant (Former Employee), Sacramento, CA – April 3, 2013
Pros: givers employee a chance to get back into the work world
Cons: no security or longevity in the job.
This company only hires for temporary work. Working here gave me the chance to stay up to date with my skills while looking for a more permanent position. The people were very concerned with the employees in that employment was the main goal. I kept my administrative and accounting skills up to date.

Great place to work.
Part time Collator (Former Employee), Lexington, NC – March 4, 2013
Pros: fun people to work.
Cons: no comment.
Great place with great people to work as a team. This team was like working with "busy bees". We would work real hard and fast if we were behind. We looked out for one another in the fast part of the day. We always tried to help the carriers of the newspapers when they arrived.

A large portion of our jobs were performed from home yet we all made it fun through communication
Team Lead, Supervisor (Former Employee), Toledo Ohio – February 5, 2013
Pros: we had quite a bit of leway to set our own hours so longs as things got done, which included working from home.
Cons: sometimes the hours were longs but they gave notice and we got plenty of breaks
Upper Management was fair yet firm when needed, we were expected to get out jobs done in a timely and professional fashion. The girls I worked with all got along in a great fashion and worked together toward the final goal. My only complaint would be that the company was small and was not able to offer benefits to us employees. Other that that it was – more... a great company to work for and wished they would have stayed in business longer. – less

Fast Pace
Plant Operator (Former Employee), New Orleans, LA – January 3, 2013
Pros: constantly learning on the job.
Cons: staring at a cpu screen.
I worked in a fast pace environment in which customers needs changed suddenly. A fleet of 30+ trucks rolling at once. I learned how to take control and get a job done from miles away. Keeping everyone on schedule was the hardest part of dispatching. Constantly adjusting to customers needs and knowing the work load helps to keep you on the aware. Hearing – more... a satisfied customer is the most enjoyable part of the job. – less

Good drivers, good co-workers
CUSTOMER SERVICE (Current Employee), Elmwood Park, IL – December 16, 2012
Pros: work hours
A typical day at work consists of organizing and keeping track of all drivers, making sure they pick up customers on time and making sure information is kept accurate in computer. What I have learned most at my workplace is patience. The hardest part of the job is trying to be patient with an unruly driver, but it pays off. I enjoy helping the customers – more... place their orders and helping the drivers so they can better serve the customers. – less

Productive and safe environment
Receptionist (Current Employee), Visalia, CA – November 8, 2012
Typical day at work consist of greeting and welcoming cutsomers, answering phone calls/taking down messages, loging infomation on computer as well as invoices, filing paper work, collect/sort and send out-going mail, faxes, large or small cash or credit card transactions, and schedule upcoming appointments.

Most enjoyable part of the job, would say – more... gathering and preping everything for big dates such as upcoming maintenance safety inspection. Reason being is that it makes the work flow consistent. – less

very busy
Driver (Former Employee), Charlotte, NC – November 1, 2012
Pros: meeting different people
Cons: lifting dead weight
I learned to know the route you will take before accelerating your car or truck. there was no room for advancement. the hardest part of the job was lifting 400+ pounds on some days and the easiest part of the job was driving and being able to communicate with people
