Pros

Simply put, if you can handle waking up way before the rooster crows, scanning packages, and organizing different sizes of boxes onto a truck with limited space, you will do fine (just focus on getting your assigned packages off of the belt, scan 'em, and set them in the truck until you have some time to put them up where they should go. It I really and easy-going job. From what I can gather they only chew you out if you've miss-scanned something or put it on the wrong truck. Other than that, you won't be able to mess it up. My coworkers are some of the best people I have had the chance to work with in my short work history.

Cons

At times there an be so many packages going down the belt, that you will scramble trying to just get them off of the belt. Many of those boxes will be heavy and take up your time trying to set them where they go. Not sure for others, but I am not used to waking up at 1 or 2 in the morning. With family that don't have to wake up in the early hours, I struggle to try and get sleep. To the driver's: Take pity on us; you are not the only truck that we have to load. I get that you want to get out on the road and get done as soon as possible, but please wait and let us scan the boxes (for accountability reasons. just takes 3 seconds).

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
