Disabled Veteran Taken Advantage of - T Cart Operator, Dunnage, Stacker Pratt Industries Employee Review

Pay is TERRIBLE compared to what you have to do$14.00/hr max out is $18/hr after 10yrs . The only thing you're working for is benefits. I still stuggled living paycheck to paycheck working there. Pratt Also they turned down numerous opportunities to be backed my a UNION SMH! If you vote for a Union you are FIRED. Thats how dumb the workers are. You are not made aware of staying over after your shift ends until 20 minutes from time to clock out. I am a USAF Veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan. I was injured in Iraq, i blew out 2 disks in my lower back serving this great Nation. I made management aware of my service diabilty before hiring me. Then i was tasked to stack boxes that weighed 60lbs ALL day for 8hrs. Then i reminded them that Doctors orders that i cant to it because i could hurt myself. They acted like they ignored me. So i sucked it up and carefully did the task all day long, because thats what military does to you. Is suck it up and do it. Then about 10 mimutes before my shift ended after the job was complete H.R. took me in their office and FIRED me because i was "a risk because of my back," but they had no problem making me finish the risky job i had to do. The VP also asked me how my new born child was doing fully knowing that i was about to be fired. EXTREMELY HEARTLESS. This company only cares about their managers and upper staffers. I HIGHLY suggest not working for them. Highest turnover rate i have ever witnessed for a company. If you are a Veteran don't waste your time!. You are treated worse than lowest ranking member in the military. You are worth more and treated better else where. Keep your options open. They only tend to hire people with criminal records because they know those people are desperate and are at There last resort for employment. You are nothing to these people only a slave with a number. I have also never been to a place where the workers and managers use racial slurrs and jokes openly. So have thick skin if you are a minority and considering on working there. If you make HR or other manager know it offends you, then you are looked at differently than before. 15 minute lunch break as well. The workers will also tattle tail on you as well like elementary kids thinking theyll be rewarded for doing so. Worst place ive ever worked at in my life. There is better out there. There is much more to be said about this horrible place, but i would be here all day if i did. I am now in the process of sueing them for discrimination. Only thing positive that came out of it. Go into 18 wheel trucking. I do that now and now make 30$/hr.
