Pros

No benefits were worth the mental torture I went through

Cons

Worst job I've ever had. Insanely micro-managed, constantly asked about toilet breaks and told "you'd be our best picker if you didn't go to the toilet". One particular manager is huge piece of work and on a constant power trip. Called me uneducated and accused me of threatening to hit him (I have never raised a hand or threatened any violence in my entire life, to give you context). When I raised a grievance the company did nothing. In absolute agony after work, legitimately bed-ridden because of how physically taxing it was. Spent most days hood up, trying to hide the tears from coworkers. I was dosed up on antidepressants and needed therapy. I can't even go into depth with how horrible it was because in my previous experience, my review will get taken down. I just wish I could properly warn people, tell them how it really was without being silenced.
