This. Hated the job, but made some good friends. It was kind of a "we're all in this together" mentality.

I worked in the shipping and receiving department for 3 years from 2001 to Nov. 2004. I really enjoyed my time there. Had a lot of fun with the foam packing machines and a lot of fun in the cargo bay area after hours. We would have manual pallet jack races where you would stand on the platform with the handle pointed forward and swivel it side to side so the jack moved forward. We'd also play football and baseball. The foam packing machines were epic. We'd put together small fedex boxes but leave one end open, then fill it with foam and seal it quickly. It would then be thrown somewhere and a large boom would follow. We'd also have football agility contests in which the big rolls of bubble wrap were defenders. You could plow into one of those like Terry Tate! We'd also take leaps off the warehouse shelving (20-30ft tall) into huge vats filled with foam molds, bubble wrap, etc. It was a great college part time job but I'm lucky to have escaped uninjured haha.

If you talk to people who worked there part-time, most seem to have a different view of their time spent there. It seems that most part-time work was more enjoyable.

I worked full-time in the web department. We created and managed websites for car dealerships across the country.

It was a crap job and I was miserable there, but like others have said, I made a few close friends that I still talk to 4 years later.

Somehow I missed this thread eight years ago and the multiple times it has resurfaced since...after reading the whole thing, I feel like I need to call a therapist. I worked there for less than a year in the late 90's at the Hollister location. Holy crap that was daily hell.

Door codes, entrance tests, phone reports, dress code, KBS kernals, the parties....that place was messed up and like others, I am surprised there hasn't been a class action suit yet. It is a totally sick place that I couldn't leave fast enough. As soon as I got another job I was out of there and it was the happiest day of my life.

I agree with whoever said it earlier...we need to sticky this thread to protect other Ags from getting sucked in to a horrible job.

Im not disappointed about the job in particular, but I sure do need something to come along.

I interviewed there back in '09 when I really wanted to quit my crappy job in Bryan. After that ridiculousness, I just walked out and told them not to call me.
