Pros

40+ hours Steady work Four 10 - 11 hr shifts Lots of benefits Leave on time every day and often offered to leave early your choice to stay and make your hours or leave early if they ask you?

Cons

Have to work mandatory OT which is an hour early for shift so I have to be at work at 6:00 am on those days. They have all the politically correct training guidelines then in the warehouse it’s a whole different story. In training on literature it says drink some amount in oz’s of water then in the hot truck they acting like it’s a problem if you having a water break. They say can you try and pick it up on pace when your already doing the most because they have more people like 6-7 taking boxes off the conveyor belt when there is only 2 people in the truck max. They talk about training is how you move up but then there ain’t no time for training they say or not today.

Pros

Weekly pay Inbound receiving is easy it just gets boring after a while

Cons

Constant standing Short breaks Don’t have a chance to talk to other associates or move around Management is for the most part always serious Management never knows anything A lot of VTO They don’t send out a message before you get there letting you know you don’t have to come in. You go in and they say that there’s too many people and not enough work or vice versa. HR always has a attitude. No opportunities to move up quicker No work/life balance.

Pros

They have good benefits, full medical, dental, vision, 401k, stock options, and much more. The pay is not that bad, I make 17.50 weekdays and 18.00 weekends. I have met some nice people too.

Cons

Literally everything honestly. It kills your body to stand for so long. They could easily have chairs in some departments, even a little stool on the OP. But, they prefer us to destroy out bodies. The management is the worst, they tell us to do something and they never do it or do the opposite. HR is no help ever, via in person or the app. They just tell you to go to the computer and do it there. The shifts are so long, I would prefer to work 5 even 6 days a week if the shifts were shorter. You don’t get any sick days, yes you get PTO and vacation time, but barely enough for one full shift never mind a few days. There is always a rate you have to meet, I have no problem with the rate as im a good worker, but it’s stupid. The people who have been there a while do everything wrong or don’t do their job and AMs, PAs, and OMs don’t care, even if I bring it up. Safety is all a fever dream, people drive on the wrong side and crash all the time, but you get yelled at if you’re less than 6 feet away from someone. Management talk in close groups less than 6 feet and don’t seem to mind. We have Covid cases everyday, sometimes a couple every day. We need to unionize so we all stop getting treated as a number and slave.
