Pros

Good benefits. Full time: you get your hours and frequent overtime (depending on location). Paid time off, holiday (thanksgiving, christmas, New Year), Sick time.

Cons

Not career or skill development oriented. They have a learning plan you and your manager develop but will never allow you to train the skills you are interested in developing. Will not cross train even though you are supposed to be cross trained. Management is childish; lack of communication, lack responsibility, bad people skills. Team members are a mixed bag; some will work others will pass off work and do nothing. Management will let slackers be slackers and place the rest of responsibility on the few harder working employees. After being in a car accident outside of work I sustained an injury to an eye and my back. I was going to therapy and returned to work with a doctors not to be placed in lighter work load while I was finishing therapy. I asked if I could switch with a co-worker and work in the business center instead of the parcel center. My manager refused to accommodate me because he didn't have anyone to switch me with. His excuse was that the other team members were female and could not do heavy lifting and that no one in the center is cross trained (referring to team that has been there at least a year and more without cross training).

Pros

Great flexibility with scheduling, which makes it incredibly easy to balance with school or other external commitments. The team environment is supportive, and the management generally respects your availability

Cons

The physical workload can be quite demanding and tiring, especially during peak seasons. Depending on the shift, communication across different teams can sometimes feel a bit unorganized.

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.
