Pros

Loved working for this company, I started in Wyoming and worked in Utah. Great benefits like paying for college. You will meet great people have fun at work, and it will keep you in shap. Weekly paychecks. In Wyoming, a satellite location is the best cushy environment to work in because low volume so less intense. Pays above average, especially for around 4 hours of work, and they are willing to let you work 2 shifts a day if you want to try to get a little extra cash.

Cons

Very intense working conditions, your personal safety is an issue. Management beats you to crap by forcing you to work harder and faster by dumbing a million packages at you in your trailer. This is how it is working at a hub like in Utah. They tell you, you can load one shift and unload the next shift, but they trick you into loading because loading is more intense than unloading and people call out. Difference is taking down package walls or building them? Just keep in mind, a million packages per min. If you miss too much work they will want to dumb you. It's hard work. For a teenager who needs a butt kicking of the real world should work here, good life lessons. You will go home with lots of pain in your body, so cancel that gym membership. Some days the wait between shifts can be long, because of trucking delays, but if you want that extra cash, better wait it out, plus good rest before another intense shift. There is no clocks so you feel your in a eternal hell. After work hard for what feels like 2 hours but you go look at the time clock it was 5 mins, you may want to cry.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
