Pros

Pay is better than minimum wage to start

Cons

As far as HR concerns and things, and some other stuff in general, everything is always up in the air, nobody knows what is ever really going on, you ask someone to answer a question and they send you to another person that says to ask the original person that you asked. It feels like a lot of stuff is hearsay and you usually have to go very far and deep in the ranks if you need help with something. As far as on the job things, it is usually straight forward but logistically, nobody knows anything.

Pros

The best part of the job is the people. It's a great mix of ages, races, beliefs and backgrounds. Really cool people who helped each other out. Had some great times and met good people

Cons

First and foremost no one in management seems to know what they are doing. When you have an HR question or you have to get something answered you call an 800 number which is out of the country. No one seems to understand how to get questions answered or how to get things done. You are also told to sign a paper that allows management to NOT have you get paid for a lunch hour. Be wary of what you sign up for. It is a very strenuous job which requires lifting, moving at all times and working your buns off. You get a brief 15 minute break and they are always posting paperwork on how much you scan. It gets old after always being told that you could be "let go" at anytime if your scanning numbers are not falling into a range that they find acceptable. I initially signed up to work Thursdays through Sundays - then got hours added, then taken away, then my days switched. Management said that they didn't know how that happened - when I called the 800 number they said that management did it.. so basically you are at the mercy of the company. You are not trained. You show up and they get another co-worker to show you how things are done.. so if you pick up any bad habits or are not fully trained it can really mess you up.

Pros

They pay you Bi-Weekly and timely; however, you must process your ADP Card within the first 24 hours or later you cannot use that card and you will go round and round before they say or by the way you must get a new ADP Card!

Cons

They work you are a high rate of activity... Fast pace... 2 hours straight in the Peak Season... Keep Up or find another place to work...
