Pros

They gave me steady hours that only changed when I wanted them too.They also worked with my class schedule to find the shifts that best worked for me. The managers were pretty engaged and would get on the floor and help if you asked. They pay was pretty good for the work, and their scan rate expectations were reasonable, at about 140 packages an hour. I never found myself below that threshold.

Cons

The breaks were short, but the shifts weren't too long so I didn't mind. They were technically 15 minutes but once you factor in walking, it ended up being around 10.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
