Pros

beginning of employment it was extremely wonderful to work for this company

Cons

after 4.5 years of working for this company I was suddenly terminated only to find out 1 week later that the reason was because of a fight that I absolutely did not have. The supervisors there play extreme favoritism with certain employees. ive always said that there was something fishy about my termination because I was scheduled for a gun class only to be told it was canceled 3 days later then told on a Monday while at work that I needed to attend that same gun class the very next day which was 10 hours. I was told several times how I was performing in the class. the next day while at work after working 10 hours of a 11 hours shift I was called to the office for a supposedly gun inspection which turned out to be for termination to which the lieutenants did not know why. I find out later from a employee that I was set up to which I suspected that due to the fact during class the day before I made a comment that the lieutenant gave me a loaded gun something he should not have done. to top it all off they allow a employee to drive the company truck on and off campus enroute to the warehouse with a DUI and failure to maintain on her record they should have known she had because she had it before she started the truck

Pros

The role provides subsistence-level wages, offering little financial security.

Cons

Management arbitrarily downgraded my position from full-time to part-time, yet still demanded overtime. I grew overwhelmed and complained that overtime was impeding my health. After that I was told then don't do overtime like it wouldn't negatively affect me. After moving me from a solid post to a flex post, they expected me to show up with only an hour's notice. They then used an "available quota" as an excuse to terminate me after creating a schedule that made it impossible to succeed.The company's adaptive workflow seamlessly absorbs last-minute modifications with zero friction. Advice to Management: Treat your employees' time with respect instead of setting them up to fail with unrealistic scheduling and quotas. I advise management to invest more heavily in employee development and modernizing our core tools. Providing clearer pathways for advancement and better operational resources would significantly boost morale and retention.
