A typical day at work would usually entail a ridiculous amount of groundwork. The one thing I will say negatively about the management and coworkers I had is that there was entirely too much favoritism. Yes it should be expected as a new employee to be doing a lot of ground work until skill in the Hostler trucks improves. However, even after months of working there and my skill was adequate enough I would frequently be the only employee to do ground work for an entire night, when it is a responsibility that also belonged to my coworkers. Everybody's job description included ground work but a lot of the time I would be one of few or even the only one taking care of it. The 12 hour night shift was rough but it was what I signed up for, and with the 12 hour shift came a 3 day weekend, so it wasn't altogether bad. Until we were put on 6 days a week. We were only supposed to be on 6 days a week for about a month and a half to try and counteract how busy the Terminal had become. It lasted for over 4 months. It was the hardest thing I have had to deal with thus far in my life if I am to be completely honest. The lack of sleep and stress of the job itself absolutely took it's toll. However, management was very understanding and lenient with needed time off and the overtime pay was at least something. My co workers were very unintelligent and were not the most friendly. All said and done I was not happy with most of my experience at ITS however, it was an opportunity I knew would present some difficulties and I don't look back on it with complete disdain.

A typical day was ranged between 8-14 hours a day. You never knew what time you were getting off work. Management where I worked at(47th&103rd), was clueless on what to do. To put it short, I went through, 4 terminal managers,2 company presidents, countless ops managers, and 1 C.E.O. In just 4 years alone. They always talked about our yearly bonuses. In the 4.5 years I work there. I only receive a bonus one year. They always had some excuse on why we didn't meet our number.(Lift per man hour) If you work there you will hear that ALOT. For the last 5 months I worked there we were on 6 days a week, min of 10 hours a day. Sometimes 7 days a week. Most days you don't get a lunch or a break. Until someone would call HR. (That happened at least twice a week) Only good thing about the job were my co-workers. Made work bearable. Some very good friends I still talked to on a regular basis. But overall your family life outside of work is gone. It took me almost 4 years to move up to get the days off I wanted.(Sun&Mon) and by then I was working 6 days a week. Started at $14 an hour, when I left I was at close to $18. But working 60-75 a week, paying over $500-600 in taxes. Was always under staff, work moral was always low. The benifits were a joke. Horrible health coverage. Takes 8 years to get 3 weeks of vacation. 20 years(no joke) to get 4 weeks of vacation. 4 sicks days a year. If anyone has a question or wants to know more.

After being offered the customer service position,  I was very eager to begin my position with this company. On my first week, they just had me sit at a desk because they weren't ready to train me on the position I was hired to do so the next week, they placed me at the "window" with a fellow co-worker to learn her position of she is ever out and or away from her desk. I was happy to obliged to do so. (I believe it is very smart to know more than the position you were hired for) After sitting with the employee who was in charge of working the window for only 2 days, she left me alone to blindly do her job. I was completely overwhelmed and disappointed in her work ethic. She was very good at hiding her badgering ways from Management, or do I thought but then came to realize that management knew of her "ways" and chose to look the other way because they were all friends. I also had to entail this ladies negative, rude, ugly comments she would make towards employees who would leave the room. On my 1sy day she spoke ill-favored of another elder co-worker in which I took serious offense to. And it was never brought up because the other co-workers, I'm convinced of now, were fearful of having this lady who worked the window as their "enemy". I ultimately made the decision to resign because of my total lack of support from Management when I brought these negative, unprofessional instances to their attention. I recommend that anyone who is offered this or any position, tread lightly.

No support from management. If you request and are approved for anything, small or large, from work tools and safety equipment to raises and additional training, you will be kept waiting an excessive amount of time for it and that is only IF they follow through on their word at all.

Tech support argues and attempts to make us work around problems so they don't have to actually fix anything. 

Managers are rarely here when we open and frequently leave early.

There is a train that likes to operate during opening and closing hours along the only road in and out. Because it cuts traffic to the yard it effectively halts most work that can be done. If you're on the wrong side of the tracks at this time you simply don't get paid to wait while those on the right side do.

A select few individuals are allowed excessively extended breaks and lunches. These same people do about a third of what is expected of others in similar roles while people actually doing their full workload are expected to pick up that slack.

Management and the pay stubs departments have a habit if forgetting or losing work hours, approved PTO, holiday and OT hours at times. They correct it pretty quickly however it still happens to often.

Dysfunctional and shady are the 2 words to describe ITS ConGlobal. What this company has essentially done is taken the worst of a Wal-mart staff, given them jumpsuits and hard hat, then plopped this group in a rail yard.

The management is pretty ineffective as a whole(reminds me of a Wal-mart management team). Disorganized, unengaged and generally lazy is the best ways to describe them. But they do play favorites, I have seen two different people get caught sleeping on the job and one got suspended while the other (one of the managers pets) got a slap on the wrist. Oh and they manipulated the time clock often!

The work force seems to play around alot and do almost anything they can do to get out of doing any work.  Lots of horse play, lots of fights and lots of drugs in the parking lot.

Sexism most assuredly is a thing here. Women are relegated to being secretaries or "shuttle crew"(a cut down versions of the unloading position that makes less). 

There is a real racism problem here, if you aren't of Latin descent be ready for slurs in both English and Spanish. Worse yet is advencmet as well as hours seems to be based on if you are Mexican.

>Almost random hours

>People stright up hide from work(affetingly called coyotes)

This place has a high rate of turnover. You rotate schedules (both hours and days) every few months. You have no say in your hours, regardless of outside responsibilities (like having no available childcare during certain hours). If you are a woman, your chances of moving up are slim. In case of call offs, they designate you to be “on call” one day a week, (you have no say in what day), but they do not compensate for you to have your life on hold. Available time off is minimal, and you aren’t guaranteed to have your vacation time approved. No matter how early you request the time off, you won’t find out whether or not it’s approved until the schedule for that month comes out, (usually a few days before that month begins). If you are regularly scheduled for 12 hour shifts, you will be expected to use 12 hours of vacation time whenever you request time off. However, if you are sick for the same 12-hour day, you will only be paid 8 hours of sick time. The company also looks for excuses to cutback hours, and not to provide raises and bonuses. And if they tell you they have a lot of applicants and don’t want to start you at what is advertised, it’s a lie! They have a very hard time filling this job.

Company got kicked out of a major railroad yard for constant equipment failures (cranes burning down, broken trucks, broken fuel pumps, etc) and very poor management of the terminal. The running equipment is so dangerous that you will legitimately get scared while running it, as the mechanics only make things run instead of actually fixing it. You will absolutely work your life away as they force you to work 5 12 hour shifts a week, sometimes 6 or more if the schedule changes. Several workers call out or no call/no show as well, so if you do show up you’ll be swamped and won’t be able to catch a break. This location has ran through 3 different managers in the past 2 years because of corporate tinfoil hat wearers that they let run the company. Management looks down on you and it is extremely hard to move up; unless you know someone or kiss it downstairs you won’t. They’ve started firing good, working people for stupid reasons when they can barely keep a new hire past 2 weeks. Please, just please stay away. This company and it’s location have turned into a very dangerous disaster over the past year and you’d be better off financially, and much safer physically and mentally by never applying.

Working here was a very miserable experience. We had to work 10 am all the way till 7pm before even thinking about stepping down to take a break. then at 7pm just when you think your day is over.... THINK AGAIN! We were forced to stay till 10pm. And come 10pm they would ask you if you wanted to stay till midnight. If you said "no" to them they would treat you with an attitute like if you did something wrong. This went on for the few months that I worked there. We were also forced to work 6 days a week because it was so busy there. I had no life outside that job. They give you 16 points a year. If you miss a day that counts as 3 points. They only expect you to miss 5 days a year! if you accumilate 16 points then you are terminated. They would pick and choose who they gave points to and I knew that as a fact because people tend to brag. It was a misable time working there. The only good thing about the place was the pay. The place is full of a bunch of arrogant and unkind people also. So being a new guy there with everybody ignoring you and wanting you to screw up was no fun either. The management were very arrogant and did little to help you fit in. I have nothing nice to say about ITS.

This is a fine job for the late spring, entirety of summer and the begins of fall. But you may want some details on what to expect before you sign the dotted line. This is obviously a 100% outdoor job, so go in with the expectations of boots on the ground during rain, sleet snow, lightning and high winds. If that all sounds fine, also consider that part of your job is to carry a heavy iron bar in combination with our work. Iron + Lightning = (an interesting day at work).
Expect long hours that will look great on a paycheck at times, but this requires more sacrifice than leadership communicates. Your agreed upon shift may be 5am to 5pm or 7am to 7pm, but you are there until the work is done. Meaning, if you arrive at 5:00am and the train is 12 hours late, you are on site for the 12 hours and finished when the train is broken down and the next one is built; so your off time at 5:00pm just turned to off at 3:00am the next morning. 
Lastly, your work is dependent on the freight moved for a local brand plant, that occasionally closes down for their own reasons. If the plant shuts down, you are out of work, period. No work protection, no furlough.
