Pros

-Hours are always available since they need people so bad. You can always double/triple without question. -Get paid to work out! -Easy to get hired -Lots of options for moving up in the company -Good, diverse group of co-workers -Great benefits once you get enough hours clocked

Cons

-Terrible communication all around. -Management is hit-or-miss. You can end up with someone awesome and motivating/helpful, or a bully who is unrealistic and degrading -Turnover rate is SO high, I'm surprised the company still makes money. They lose so much putting people through a background check and orientation just to have about 75% quit within a week (not exaggerating) -Sexism. It's really hard to be taken seriously as a female in this atmosphere, no matter how hard you bust your butt. -Ancient tech. I swear, the scanners we use are from the 80s and the belts break down constantly. -Their push for safety is only skin deep. Despite all the meetings and initiatives, at the end of the day, management wants efficiency and high numbers.

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.
