Pros

$11.00/ hr, close to home, some overtime

Cons

Make you work overtime even if you told them while being hired that you couldn't, one 15 minute break even if you're working 12 hrs, no where to take a break at, can't go in break room, constantly changes schedule 3-4 times a week, you won't know your schedule until a Thursday, constantly hire new people and put them on a sit down post while the veterans of the company gets the 12 hours and standing posts

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
