Pros

Benefits after a 13 week waiting period for PT/ 12 hrs min/wk

Cons

If you are looking for a part-time job for the benefits or extra cash, I would look elsewhere. The reality of the job does not match the promise. First, the compensation simply does not commensurate with the sheer amount of physical labor involved. The working conditions are subpar, and the facility feels incredibly disorganized on a daily basis. You are constantly scrambling, and management doesn't seem to have a handle on the workflow. The scheduling is another major pain point. They constantly try to adjust work schedules to meet their own metrics with zero regard for the employee’s time or outside commitments. It makes planning your life outside of work nearly impossible. Finally, the benefits—which are often the main draw for this kind of role—are disappointing. You have to wait a full 13 weeks to even become eligible, and once you do, the medical and dental coverage is subpar at best.

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.
