Oftentimes a stressful and high volume work environment (Tuesday-Thursday)
The work stations/tasks are mind numbing and repetitive.
Employees should expect to stay late at least twice weekly due to unreliable machinery or a high work volume.
If you've ever done a group project in high school or college where one or two people in a group end up doing 80% of the work you'll know what to expect from the work culture in the distribution department. A failure of management is allowing half of the department to camp the easiest stations indefinitely.
Despite what you're told during on-boarding the opportunities for advancement are few. Historically, an extremely small number of employees that started in distribution have advanced out of it. This is partially because, inter-departmentally, the distribution team is seen as incompetent and full of low caliber employees.
Department is perpetually under scrutiny for poor performance.
