Terrible. Shitshow everyday. When you people don’t want to work you pay the price. Dealing with nagging customers, contractors and naggy clients. Only the metrics matter. Zero work life balance. 16 hour work days, six days a week.
Forklift Driver in Irving, TX
on September 15, 2023
Every time I get up since I got this job I been trying to improve myself. It can not happen with this company. .The condition of the equipment is disgusting. The CO workers are great when they are not dealing with the stupidity of the management. Do your yourself a favor and if you got to. Do a year but keep looking for something better
