Pros

$15 an hour isn't terrible for part-time work.

Cons

The work. It's terrible. As a sorter, you are required to sort 250 items an hour or one per 13 seconds. They look for ways to give you points, points are bad. The hours are terrible, start at midnight, the people are people you don't see in society for a reason. Everyone, where I work at, seems to have been there for less than a month no one is consistent. On my second day, a package was sent to me incorrectly, I asked what to do and did it, then had someone else tell me that I did it wrong and if I did that again, I would be fired. The training is a joke consisting of some videos we have to watch on our free time, they claim to pay you, but they failed to pay me the amount promised, then we got a tour from a mumbler who skimmed through a book for less than 45 minutes and we started. Day two, the "trainer" watches you try to do your job then lectures you about everything you are doing wrong and tells you it will all get you fired. If I have questions, it seems like a burden to get answers. I have never felt so much like a drone in my life, just a cog with no meaning who could be replaced by anyone off the street tomorrow. I suggest you go anywhere else unless you enjoy having your soul crushed. Thank god I only have to do this a few more times and I am out. This job is not worth $15 and hour. They should double that salary for what they put you through. I suggest going anywhere else.

I Love It Here!

Pros

Great team, great managers, great work, great part-time benefits, and great starting pay. I look forward to moving into a higher role in the future.

Cons

None. I've worked for other corporations and cooperatives at multiple levels of both organizations. This is my favorite place I've ever worked. If you don't like to work hard or fast then this is probably not the place for you, but I love both of those things so it's perfect.
