Pros

-Hours are always available since they need people so bad. You can always double/triple without question. -Get paid to work out! -Easy to get hired -Lots of options for moving up in the company -Good, diverse group of co-workers -Great benefits once you get enough hours clocked

Cons

-Terrible communication all around. -Management is hit-or-miss. You can end up with someone awesome and motivating/helpful, or a bully who is unrealistic and degrading -Turnover rate is SO high, I'm surprised the company still makes money. They lose so much putting people through a background check and orientation just to have about 75% quit within a week (not exaggerating) -Sexism. It's really hard to be taken seriously as a female in this atmosphere, no matter how hard you bust your butt. -Ancient tech. I swear, the scanners we use are from the 80s and the belts break down constantly. -Their push for safety is only skin deep. Despite all the meetings and initiatives, at the end of the day, management wants efficiency and high numbers.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
