Pros

I enjoy my work. Most of my coworkers are friendly and hard-working. They have a good work ethic and will help you out if you are a hard worker too. Many have been here a long time. The company will provide Gatorade on hot, busy days. They will occassionally provide lunch, or snacks. Most of those in lower management positions are friendly and helpful. Managenent gets to know each and everyone of the employees.

Cons

As with many places, there are slackers. Nothing is done about those who don't pull their weight. There are some managers who are lazy and can be seen doing nothing or on their cell phones or talking to other employees. This certainly doesn't set a good example, especially at times when they ask you to stay late. They preach about safety yet when it is busy, all safety precautions are abandoned. It is obvious that it is more important to process as many packages with no regard to employee safety when it is busy. It is very hot in the warehouse in the summer months. The pay is not adequete for the work you are doing. Those who work hard and do a good job should be rewarded, but instead they are taken advantage of.

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.
