[QUOTE="splozi, post: 985026"] When I did my walkthrough/tour, the HR guy said the same sort of things. Low pay, part-time hours, hard work. This is probably the only time management is REALLY going to be honest with you. They don't want new hires thinking they will be doing light work in a comfortable environment. If you are loading/unloading trailers, you will start at $8.50, and you will get a $1 raise after 30 days. If you are doing anything else, you will start at $9.50, same raise. You get another $1 raise every year after that, and I believe there is no cap on this. So if you're still working this same part time job after 20 years, you'll be making $30/hr. You can make similar starting pay elsewhere doing easier work with more hours, but you're not going to get these kinds of health benefits, and they won't be free. The health benefits kick in after one year (not sure if one year from hire or from seniority). You also will not get a yearly raise like this. I was hired last year, and by Christmas this year I'll be making $11.50/hr. This is still basically crappy pay for someone my age, but where I live there's no way in hell I'd make this much per hour working the types of jobs others here suggest. There's still go guarantee you will get an interview, even if you're interested. But if you want a challenge, and you like being verbally abused, I say go for it if the opportunity if there. [/QUOTE]
