Typical Warehouse Job - Recensione dipendente - Forklift Operator presso ColdPoint Logistics

They decide that you now have to work different days then what you originally signed up for...like completely change your schedule. Sure you will work the same time of day but the days you work can change from week to week if they see fit. You also have mandatory 6th days to work when needed. So if you can't work that extra day you have to use your PTO or you will gain a point (8 points and you are fired). So they force you to use that time if you have say a child who plays sports and his big game is that Saturday that you usually are off...but they tell you Wednesday that little Johnny won't have dad at the game cause it's MANDATORY overtime. It's ridiculous. They say they have core values but they rarely stick to them. I was a forklift operator and I was told when hired that I would on occasion have to throw a truck (1,250 33.3lb boxes by hand stack in a trailer) but for the most part would be on a reach truck pulling orders. Well wouldn't you know it...they like to play favorites and when there would be multiple picks for the forklift ops...vets would get two or three to do while I had to throw a truck or two every night. I had to basically remind them of my position and that doing the lifting was constantly hurting my back to the point I couldn't sleep when I got home. They really didn't care and said they didn't have enough manpower to allow me to do my job. That was the whole reason I interviewed for forklift because I do have back problems. No Manpower when they also hire temps...makes zero sense. They need to learn how to properly tell customers a reasonable time table instead of slamming shifts with way too much work for the amount of people they have. It's not difficult, they just don't care and want to see that precious money flow into their pockets, cause who cares about the employees when we are a dime a dozen.
