Out of state 4 month training was confusing and sort of a hostile environment since trainers were folks loosing their jobs due to inability to transfer NA HQ offices. Trained on existing system. Once nearly comfortable with ability to go solo w/o a trainer checking work, folks loosing jobs trained on new system in order to train new folks. New system was barely under toe and HQ were moved to New state and all he'll broke loose. Complete chaos

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It's like walking back into a miserable world

as a place to work there was always room to learn, with eagerness and asking questions you could climb your way up using common sense and certifications they would give you. the job was a little boring until it was urgent. and being able to keep a calm attitude and use deductive reasoning, fixing a job would give you recognition.

To start with a safety meeting but you never know who what or where you're going to be working so you never g t the right agenda. You very rarely work in your craft it is just slung together by a wanna be engineer and a engineer from France who hardly speaks English. Then after your there for 5-6 weeks busting your tail to make a difference and about the time a presence can be felt they cancel your contract with no explanation...

A very bad company to work for. Very bad atmosphere and they stress people with a lot of work. Recently they closed offices all around Europe to centralize the offices in Brussels, and they pretend that one person makes the work that used to be done by 4, on top of that if you complain, they invite you to leave the company, but they never make you redundant. Right now, about 5 people are on depression sick-leave and some people have already left, even before finding a new job, it seems that they prefer to be unemployed.

Every day is busy.
I learned maintaining and repairing their equipment also dealing and communicating with truck drivers from all over the world
Management is poor
Most co-workers are new which i train
The job is easy, just takes time to get the hang of the paperwork and equipment operation
I like working in shipping because the fast pace and communicating with so many different people, everything has to be exactly to the BOL or packing slip.
