Pros
Union protection/coverage & benefits if you stay on for 90+ days. Straightforward, honest work. Weekly payday.
Cons
Lackluster pay (for Baltimore/Washington I-95 corridor), long hours (frequent mandatory overtime during peak volume days). Heavy emphasis on performance metrics (e.g. picks per hour) without accounting for and improving upon performance obstacles (poor condition of scanning equipment, extra time/effort needed for heavy/bulk items, labyrinthine aisle layout, safety hazards).
