Pros

Benefits such as pension, insurance, and some discounts in some franchises (gym for example) Work level during working hours is light compared to other warehouses

Cons

Worst schedule possible, specifically if you are nightshift, they require you to work weekends (usually weekend yes/weekend no) One example of a bad schedule, work monday, then wednesday, then friday, then next week monday-tuesday,thursday, then saturday sunday (nightshift 02-10am) no transportation at that time, must take last train, be at the company almost one hour before 0 career opportunities even though they promote it as such, applied more than once to other positions, asked to do tailored cv, cover letter, but not even one reply

Pros

Good work environment Pay is good Job keeps you busy

Cons

Lack of communication with leadership and coworkers. Leadership seems to have favorites Schedule takes too long to make Seems that there's people who would like the be full time or part time that are temporary right now aren't getting the positions. Feels like nepotism but maybe I'm wrong. Getting responses like you didn't get the job because you didn't answer your interview questions right just seems unnecessary The amount of drama happening is getting out of hand and leadership doesn't seem to care
