Pros
Good managers that are generally positive, easy to change schedule at sort centers, easy work just building pallets, they attempt to motivate you, regular breaks same time everyday, HR is helpful once you go to them, they're willing to accommodate you if you actually talk to HR about disabilities and limitations, at my center they don't get on to you much about your scan rates you just stay later if everyone does bad, good work/life balance, shifts in just about every part of day, can work four to six days a week and up to 60 hours during peak times. They're willing to train you if you want to try different roles. If you're trans they'll make sure your treated well and you can report to HR if you have any problems at all and get it taken care of, they want to make sure you're comfortable.
Cons
Boring as hell, repetitive as hell, people don't build pallets well, they barely talk to new hires about attendance policies to the point where people have almost gotten fired because we don't know what they are in depth, you can only miss four days every three months, if you pass six attendance points they fire you within like 24 hours, only can have one medical excuse per year for absence, scanners don't work a lot sometimes I have to go through three different scanners before one works, the managers system for motivation only works if you care about company swag but I don't, peak times you can flex up an hour, not a great variety of roles you can do, training only lasts two days and is very brief and barely touches on stuff, four hours seem to stretch on forever. Rates go down if you have to use restroom or get a drink of water. They move you around a lot throughout the day. Some lanes are really crowded and hard to move around on. Short training can lead to injuries from people sorting items and storing them incorrectly. I'm not looking to stay any longer, will leave as soon as I find another job.
