Pros of working at R+L Carriers

Pay is decent for part time employees

Cons of working at R+L Carriers

The lack of safety measures for dock workers. Most forklifts barely have brakes and when it’s humid the floors are extremely slippery and they (management ) don’t bother to address it, when it’s cold outside it colder inside.

Weekly pay

What do you like best about R+L Carriers's CEO and the leadership team?

I’m in the NJ terminal maybe see him once a year. He “seems” to be concerned with the workers but don’t they all.

How would you improve R+L Carriers's culture?

Train every lead, supervisor on how to actually be leads or supervisor. Teach them how to be a little more assertive and a lot less passive aggressive.

How did you prepare for the R+L Carriers interview?

On the loading docks. Just show you are willing to work, can’t be thin skinned.

How does your compensation at R+L Carriers compare to the industry average?

From what I read they’re below average. It’s decent pay but there’s a lot you have to deal with. Crappy equipment toxic chemicals as well as toxic supervisors.

What's the diversity at R+L Carriers like?

I like the diversity except for the amount of republicans, seems to be a lot. I’ve only ever met white people who are republicans that explains the “favoritism”on the loading dock.

What brings you the most joy at R+L Carriers?

I’m starting to rethink about my employment here. Wouldn’t call it “joy”but I like the fact that I can pay my bills.
