DAMCO

The work was ok, it got hard when they would put me alone unloading a container with 700+ boxes that weighed around 40 pounds each. The union workers would make the temps do all the hard work while they would just walk around trying to find the easiest job they can do. The supervisors would also yell at us for the smallest things it makes you not even want to ask them for help when you need it. The agent that hired me was the worst I had to switch between agents twice and he would barely reply when I texted him a question or if I asked to confirm a shift it's very unprofessional to ignore your employees. The agent also fired me without even telling me why he just stopped responding.

after working there for so long i got to the top top raise you could get and after a while it got bad and once i got all my certificates with the machines it meant more responsibility not to damage freight and the boss would be on you watching every little move you do and they dont even pay you more for driving the machines witch is what everyone wanted in the end it got depressing doing the same thing over and over again

If you are a student please make sure to plan study accoding to the day of your shift as it us quite heavy work, you're not allowed to sit to use phone or do any kind of things which slows the work down. Also please be sure that you do not disappoint the supervisor as if they're in a bad mood they will fire you even for the smallest mistake.

A typical day at work would be repeatedly unloading and loading trucks with your designated team. I learned how to work together with others and taking in their ideas. The hardest part of the job was lifting really heavy boxes that didn't have much grip to them. The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to work with friends.

Work 8 hours a day  just cross docking from containers to trailers , some boxes could be big and heavy or just a lot of small boxes , management is okay ,There are friendly co-workers made new friends on first day , the hardest job is stacking heavy boxes up high, the most enjoyable part of the job is probably lunch .

Started off assisting one person loading 2 trucks of cargo/products and for the last few hours was shuffled around like a gym bag "helping" others do their job.

I am part time student. They give me work according my schedule. Job security and safety environment was excellent facilities. I learned lot of new skills like, managing work, be patient with other worker, always be punctual, try to do give my best.

Damco is a good place to work and most recently the company has become quite innovative. I enjoy working here although it is very hard to climb the company ladder and the compensation is in line with industry standard

Mostly all hard work is given to new employees and never want to work again,They are always shortage of worker due to underpaid and bad work atmosphere so nobody want to stay long.Try yourself then knew the worst workplace environment.

I met many people at Damco! I made some new friends and gained experience in a fast pace and hard working environment. I learned many things from Damco! I learned how to cube a container and how the major companies get their merchandise.
