Svantaggi
I was hired as part time under the pretense that I'd be full time status 90 days after hire. That was over a year and a half ago; I'm still part time. I am working an average of 32-40 hours weekly (often more hours than the full time employees) during normal seasons and 55+ hours a week during the holiday seasons. I don't mind the hours but I get no benefits whatsoever. I was sick for a week but could not get sick days because of my part time status so I lost over 300 dollars on one of my paychecks. I've also been unable to take any kind of paid (or unpaid) vacation over the span of this year and 8 months because of the part time status. I may be the highest paid stockman there but the lack of PTO is killing me! In a more general note: They send far more "sendout" freight than we can make room for in addition to stuff that isn't on any layout and then gripe about us being unable to make it look pretty.
