Pros

-discounts -flexible schedule -make friends easily

Cons

-this job attracts mostly people that dont have a high work ethic that is needed -recyclers are informed that this is a high stress job and of their duties but sometime more than others u are asked to go above those duties for the same pay. Examples: 1. down stacking multiple carts (7-8) to unload the same amount off a truck with no space available. 2. also recyclers have such a high turnover rate that is hard to keep a full recycling staff which adds more stress on the recycler. 3. extremely dirty workplace. often times trailers full off houseware, glassware, and other miscellaneous items are delivered to stores and the recyclers are in charge of unloading them. these trailers are usually packed and, when inspected on the inside, resembles nothing more than a trash trailer with broken glass covering the floor 4. often times recyclers are required to unload trucks with "product" that is wet due to rain showers and/ or pissed on by cats, dogs, homeless people, etc.

Pros

It's a Job I guess

Cons

The pay is just over minimum wage. There is no work life balance they don't offer holiday pay and require you to work on all holidays except for Christmas and Thanksgiving. They constantly add new thing to the job and will never give you a pay raise or advancement. All around bad company that's taking advantage of working class Americans.
