Valentine's bonus offset by unorganized management

Yard worker

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Profit Sharing Is a very nice little bonus to receive right around valentines day.

Cons

Managers seem unorganized. The General Manager wants managers not to help with tasks but to just point and delegate.

Poor management, mostly dour colleagues

Team member

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A few of the people are nice to work with.

Cons

A store manager who talks down to employees like they're children (and apparently gets promoted for it). A store manager who acts like employees are idiots for calling him to ask questions. Raises are pathetic. Understaffed because the store manager won't allow enough labor hours to do the job, particularly on Sundays when there's a lot of freight.
