Pros

PTO, holiday pay plus time and a half for 8 holidays a yr even though certain shifts have to work almost every single one of them. You're never off. Decent health insurance after 1000 hours.

Cons

Full timers work 8 to 9 hours a day or sometimes even longer with only one break. You get a 30 minute lunch and that's it, which means you work almost five straight hours without being able to stop. No company bonuses ever for anything, no incentives. We didn't get any raise when the corporate tax cut was passed even though the company said they would give them in the media. Package handlers that have been there four years and gotten all the raises don't get pay increases for getting promoted to operations manager because the pay is the same if you're getting the late night shift differential for package handlers.

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.
