Pros

I chose this job for its part time hours and its 20/hr pay. I wanted to spend more time at home pursuing illustration and other creative freelance endeavors. This job allows me to pay my bills. I've never driven forklift before, but now I am several months in and it's becoming easier.

Cons

The building I drive forklift in is not temperature-controlled. Winter is coming and it's about to become an ice box. I'm going to have to prepare for this so I can bundle up properly. I hate being cold so I'm going to wear layers and might even buy a heated vest and heated gloves. Another con, everytime you're on the dockfloor (where the forklifts run) you are risking your safety. However, it is protocol and the norm for all forklift operators to prioritize safety above all.

Pros

- Insurance benefits are offered to part time employees - Pay is sufficient based on being part time - Management will send some communications regarding big picture matters - There is some leniency regarding calling out of work

Cons

- The requirement to maintain insurance is becoming more difficult - Employees are not paid the same rate simply based on tenor rather than qualifications - Management will rarely, if ever, address direct employee concerns - Leniency for calling out only seems to apply for certain employees - There is no standard of training or written expectations readily available once hired
