Productive
Shipping and Receiving Clerk (Former Employee), Charleston, SC – April 1, 2013
Pros: good hours and resonable lunches
Cons: it was temporary and far away from my living space.
A typical day at work is decent. I've learned how to label and and package boxes on pallets to be shipped off to different companies. Management was very helpful. Well spirited and willing to help whenever needed. Co-workers all worked the same and treated each other like equals. the hardest part of this job is getting all the boxes on the right pallet – more... at a sufficient time. The most enjoyable part of this job was everything about the job. – less

Started off great
Clerk for Customer Service (Former Employee), Martinsville, VA – November 27, 2012
Pros: great people they showed that they cared about their employees
I really enjoyed working at Gildan when I was in the office working with the manager of customer service. When the economy went it was hard because had to go out in the warehouse. At the end I had got the hang of it and knew that I can do anything I put my mind too.
