I used to work at this one logistic company its was rough to say the least. I did it for about 6 months because I needed the money, the pay wasn't great, just minimal wage or maybe a bit higher. The people there were not too friendly either. Most of them smoked, liked to drink and probably didn't care if they lived or died the next day. Also racism and discrimination was normal there. Thats a bit of an exaggeration but you get the idea lol. There was a few people there that I didn't mind they were OK good people who showed each other respect. The job started early like 6am and finish about 8 or more hours later. Sometimes they asked us to stay back because there was a lot more work that needed to be done.
Well the job was pretty much unloading containers all day :E. You know those containers that come off the boat. They rushed us too so after a while you build strong arms but man it was stupid because there would be very hard items like cans of food or what not and you would have one person toss it and the other catch and load it onto the pallets. This worked OK if the two are in tune but there would be times where someone would go too slow and the object would be tossed and either it was dropped or it hit you on the finger when you try and fail to catch it. We lost so much product from breaking them it was stupid, I dont know how the company deals with it they probably say it got damage in shipment and insurance will cover it or something.
The logistic companies hire people who ain't even trained properly for the job because its cheaper to pay someone unqualified. Theres been cases since I was there where a young kid who thought he was a hot shot started driving the folk hoist around even when he had not been trained to. Of course that day we happen to be moving some 40 inch LCD tvs around and he ended up dropping about 6 of them lol. I think all of them got damage and was just junk. Oh and We also move Dell computers in new Zealand lol. Dont buy them man I drop them on the ground like it was junk so does all the other workers there. I'm surprised they get there to their customers working lol.
If you see your box damaged you know its been treated badly.
That was my last job and probably worse ever in my whole life just because of the boss, co workers, and job was crap. I finally said screw this theres no point working here when I have other skills I should just try and get a better job.
