[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1076387"] Really? I watched maybe 3 videos and then watched a supervisor load a truck. Next day we went over how trucks were supposed to be loaded, I watched for maybe 5-10min then switched roles with the supervisor. He watched me for a little bit, said he'd be back in a few minutes to check on me and that was the last I saw of him until I was clocking out that day. My supervisors are actually pretty decent people, but the training at my center was a joke. After a couple months of lurking around here I've come to think that most supe's just don't feel like it's worth the effort spending time properly training a new preloader that probability tells them will quit within a month (and some much, much sooner than that). Also, the only breaks I've ever gotten were towards the end of December... haven't had one since 2013 started. My general impression of the tour was that it was used as a tool to weed out undesirable employees. All I kept hearing was that this is a fast-paced, physical job that many people simply are not cut out for. We were repeatedly advised that if we thought ourselves to be one of those people, no offense would be taken if we removed ourselves from the hiring process at that time. While the HR guy doing the tour was being completely honest, the way he presented the facts made it sound like he was doing his damndest to thin out that particular hiring pool. [/QUOTE]
