Pros

I was a casual package handler and loved it! Casual handler was a no benefits position, but if you stayed around long enough then you could get a Permanent Part-Time position that would include benefits. It was a great part-time job and it even had benefits available for working just 17 hours. It was fast paced, but I worked closely with other employees and developed good relationships with many employees in a short amount of time. I would definetely recommend this job to anyone looking for a supplemental part-time job.

Cons

Due to the nature of the work, all handlers were required to work strict schedules. There is almost no schedule flexability at all, unless you were a Permanent Part-Time and used Personal Time Off. Other than that, I loved everything else about the job!

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.
