Pros

Mindless work; you don't really have to think much or deal with customers

Cons

Packager handlers are rewarded for unsatisfactory work; weak links are expected to be subsidized by everyone else; some employees handle far far less volume than others (I average 700-900 packages per day, others handle 80-10); Managers worry too much about efficiency without knowing how much more difficult they make the job; instead of listening to employee concerns, manager rattle off platitudes about "positive attitudes", and "slow and steady wins the race", without actually having the experience of handling such back-breaking work; they say they hire and promote from within, yet as an employee, you are still required to go through bureaucratic online application process rather than being directly promoted; TERRIBLE electronic equipment; favoritism and inability to properly discipline employees; everyone speaking Spanish

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.
