Company-Industry Rating Comparison
"I've been working at OSJL for for about 4 years, which is somewhat impressive considering the high turnover rate. The co-workers are the best part of the job since everyone knows they're all in the same boat and would like to be treated as equals. The work can be tiresome, the pay isn't great, but the money is green."
"Warning, they will make you quit if you work for their competitors even if you are p/t, sounds like they are not playing by the rules. If you have to work because they only give you 20 hrs a week, how can thay say where else you can work The atty general will hear about this. Do not work here."

After going to from part time cashier to full time freight mover at the start of the summer, at my annual review I was told I had made no improvements since my last one and was denied my promotion and given a $.10 pay raise and told it was better then nothing.
