Pros
Healthcare is excellent, would work just for that. You will meet people from all walks of life - from high school drop outs to PhDs!
Cons
Lot of bullies in the ranks - everything's done on seniority and those there the longest act as though they own the place and god they let you know it! Management compounds this by playing favorites and won't discipline the offenders. As long as packages are moved they don't care. It's a physically harsh environment to work, especially in the summer. The heat in a container can go well over 100 degrees. Water used to be provided but this was stopped owing to cost. There are some water fountains but in summer this just give you tepid water. Though to be fair ice machines were installed. However, if you getting a mouthful of water from a fountain. Having an ice machine is moot. Time off is positively Victorian and mean - nothing in your first year then two weeks until you hit seven years - also if you work the Tuesday to Saturday schedule you lose the majority of bank holidays off - but, you do get paid for them. Personally, as there's so little leave I'd rather have the option of time off. A lot of people get hurt - drivers develop knee and back problems. Though the pension kicks in at 30 years. How many actually make it to the full 30 years?
