Pros

- awesome coworkers and managers, everyone was super chill - basically getting paid to work out - great benefits - awesome work environment - weekly pay - recognition for hard work - promote from within as long as you are up to the task and show your strengths

Cons

- usually only 3-4 hours a day - 3am-8am shift sucks, is very hard on body, makes living life/having a second job tough because you're always exhausted - the work is very grueling, they will work you as hard as they can even if it is hard for you - the job gets extremely stressful - warehouse is hot -easy to overwork yourself, must eat beforehand and hydrate on and off the job - benefits don't kick in until after a year for part time - not enough pay for what it is worth (this job is literal manual labor)

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.
