Pros

The technology is revolutionary, and it feels great to be a part of something that helps so many people. Nice facilities for employees.

Cons

As an operator, you are just a number. You are really limited as far as advancement opportunities until you have been there over one year, even then, promotions in the pack out department seems to be based more on senority rather than on one's merit. Unfortunately, I also felt at a disadvantage because I'm not Asian or Hispanic ethnically. I hate to say it, and it made me very sad, but it genuinely felt that the Lead Operators showed prominent favoritism based upon your ethnicity, at least at this level of the company. Most people dislike or just plan hate the position. This is so much so that almost all of their hiring is done through various temp agencies, and turnover is astounding! Also, be prepared to leave work everyday in discomfort, or even severe pain due to the repetative nature of the position. Sure, you adapt over time, and the pain can lessen in severity, but it usually still significant and impactful on your daily life. There are a large number of employees at any one time that are on modified duty secondary to a repetative work-related injury. I was extremely excited when I first started, but over time, that excitement waned and faded completely. I would not recommend this position, unless this job is your only option at the time.
