Pros
- Most days are fairly easy and routine, especially weekends - Lot of alone and quiet time if that's your thing - The 10 hours (on average) shifts, 4 days a week with 3 day weekends is actually a really good schedule. - Most offices are small and tight knit.
Cons
-Shitty pay and benefits, literally an unlivable wage unless you're a recent college grad still at home (me). I heard through the grapevine I personally was even underpaid because I started out as a part timer before being made full time. - Management (corporate, and therefore local too) is getting increasingly aggressive and surveilling. I would literally get stressed out all the time anticipating emails from upper management in regards to the pettiest things that they all of a sudden decided to care about. - Promotion is a very slow and tedious process, if it even happens. I think I knew one tech who moved up to manager in my 3 years there. - As an add on to the above, just implementing a bunch of policies they want you to follow and then changing them constantly and expecting you to get everything right. - I'm talking from an inventory perspective, my job wasn't terrible- but techs and lower level management literally work in hell. Their expected standards and metrics are ridiculous and unreachable and everyone is constantly putting each other down through a chain of management. Just a very toxic environment in those regards.
