Pros

I think the best things about working here is the shift times ,the wage and the fact that you can request to work any schedule to suit your needs. I work three doubles and am off 4 days. Shifts here are 4hr and being p\t I can only work up to 6 shifts a week. I was originally a p\t seasonal employee but when conversion to blue badge was offered,I was only 2days past my 90 and was sitting on 4 attendance points . Conversion was only open for 1 week,I put in for it and was hired. My wage went up and I have better benefits. My job is a fulfillment associate 1 in the sort center. I basically put boxes and packages on pallets that will be sent to various post offices for delivery. It is hard work and you are walking ,walking, walking . You do have a quota and you will slim down and firm up.

Cons

Working your bottom off while a lot of the young people barely work and talk the whole shift. Another con is some of the people who think they have more authority than they do and can be very rude.There is way too many passive aggressive people here,it can get on your nerves. Another thing that irritates me is when they call VTO ,people leave and then the rest of us get a longer shift

Pros

Great environment, easy work, recognition, pay during peak.

Cons

Peak. Peak. Peak. Pay is somewhat low. Cross training can be limited or slow going because of the number of employees.

Pros

Mass hiring events, minimal screening, no experience required. They hire all the people they can get. Good if you are desperate for money.

Cons

Others can say Amazon PDX-5 Hillsboro Sortation Center is either a good or a bad place to work but there's no denying the fact that this site is a revolving door. Seasonal employees come to work and go in a matter of weeks - they never need to be laid-off or terminated, they just simply quit. Out of the original 300+ regular/permanent employees, at least on my shift, only about a fifth remain and they fill in the void with batches of seasonals on a weekly basis! This fact says a lot on how bad this company is being managed.
