I currently work in shipping and at the parts counter at a company called AG Spray Equipment (the name should be self explanatory). We build and manufacture large agricultural sprayers and storage tanks - up to about 10,000 gallons in size.
I'm pretty much split in twenty different directions at work and not once have I been offered any sort of training; even after being requested.
I'm the only person in shipping; I pull orders for about eight salesman, as well as tickets for transfer that come from our other locations. I ship out about 100 packages via UPS (ranging from 1 pound to about 120 pounds), and I ship out about twenty shipments via LTL truck lines (average of two pallets per shipment).
All in all I deal with about 10-12 tons of equipment and small parts on a daily basis and handle anywhere from $25,000 to over $250,000 in merchandise every day.
I also have to check in and stock all merchandise that comes in.
To top it all off, I have to stop all of that at the drop of a hat if a customer walks in the front door to help them (probably 30-50 customers come in every day).
I'm expected to get all shipments done every day and I'm told to ask for help when I need it (but 75% of the time I get absolutely no help).
I bust my ass on a daily basis, just to come home and get pushed around some more in a house in which I don't have my own room or a place to store my own belongings.
My life is hell.
