Pros

You should have no problem getting plenty of hours/overtime and the hourly pay is great. It was relatively easy to meet my numbers before covid hit the states. Some guys will take time to help you if they see you actually trying.

Cons

Feels like you're on a slave plantation at times. Once you're inside the building you basically can't leave until you're off. Way too long of a walk/process to get from your car to your work area. Some supervisors will follow you around on their carts from time to time. Gotta fight to get your downtime sometimes, talkman doesn't pick up what you say quite often, they will give you less time to pick orders during busy days (70 minute order will be cut down to 55 minutes), gotta get there early to reserve a pallet jack and some will shake as you drive them, some forklift drivers will purposely slow you down, gotta wait to go to the bathroom until break or risk not meeting your numbers, somehow you'll only get heavy orders somedays while some people will get all light wieght orders, you can end up getting scheduled on your days off and work 12 or so days in a row, had to work in a face mask while sweating and trying to talk into a microphone which muffled my words so the talkman would ask me to repeat way too often

Pros

Good discounts, a free item every week through the app, hardship fund if approved, option for stocks

Cons

Not enough hours/pay to pay bills, odd hours makes it almost impossible to work a 2nd job

Pros

good pay rate, associate discount on groceries, mostly good techs

Cons

Zero work life balance, unless you live to work. "Training" screams of "I don't care". They brag about how GREAT their pharmacist training is, but that was 20 years ago, today their 4 week great training has been shoved into ONE week of on-the-job training with zero follow up or concern that you can't possibly learn all you need in that time, then they shove you out the door. Training during a cyberattack that has nothing working? That's fine, you don't get any extra time despite the fact that you can't learn on a non-working system. Management BS is deep, such as "we want our employees to know why decisions are made" then no way to ask and none of the low level managers has any freaking clue as to why changing an address in the database was changed from just overtyping it to a 5 minute process of logging into a poorly written website to update - and you thought we were bad about it before! And they ask for feedback an entire ONCE a year, with no way of providing it before.
