Pros

Good workout if you lift properly

Cons

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. You will definitely get hurt at this job, it's just a matter of when and how badly. It was crazy seeing how intensely some people were maimed working as package handlers. That's why they promise such a high starting rate. However, they will try everything to pay you less than you signed up for. It was ridiculous how many hoops I had to jump through to get the pay I was promised.

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.
