      Pros

      Pay slightly better than minimum wage Some colleagues are friendly and supportive

      Cons

      Unrealistic pick rate targets that only a few can achieve Messy, unsafe working conditions with little regard for health and safety Managers show no understanding of staff wellbeing and blame workers when accidents happen Treated like a criminal when dismissed — escorted out in the middle of the night with no transport provided High staff turnover because expectations are impossible to meet

      Pros

      Benefits are excellent, most people at the peer level are great. Clear performance expectations. Decent cross functional communication

      Cons

      Company leadership very European and doesn't quite understand the American consumer even after being in the US so long. Unreasonable expectations are the norm. No upward mobility unless you are European or speak fluent German.
