This job title better be competitive and must required a lot of training and certs or probably a job that not many people can do like lifting 200lbs at ease. 

The fastest time I ever left a job was only 4 hours in my first day.  AT lunch time, I dipped.  They told me the weight to lift was only 20lbs.  They lied.  It was 60lbs the least and in a hot azz container and products from china.  I tried for 4 hours.  Had backaches for days.  Nevermore.  I respect those who works in containers and in the summertime.  If I need a hard working labor job guy, I would love to hire these guys.  They are strong, takes orders and willing to work for cheap pay.  Not much brain to think that their talents can be used elsewhere where they pay them 200K for a hard job done.
