Pros

-Good pay for the skill level needed. -It'll be hard to find another part time job out there with a benefits package this good. -You really do get a workout (I dropped 15 pound in the first two weeks). -My manager was very professional, attentive and fair. -If you do good, you'll get noticed and you'll move up. -People are hired from within, so pretty much all the management started from the very bottom.

Cons

-Hours are bad (I worked the "morning shift" which was midnight until 6am or later) and hard to get used to. -At the beginning you pretty much get no time off except for weekends and 6 holidays, sure you can accrue days off even in the beginning, but the senior people get to pick their days off first. So you have to plan vacations, or even time off a year in advance. -Sometimes the work itself (sorting boxes) can get overwhelming, repetitive, and tedious. -From what I heard, not all the managers are as good as mine was.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
