Pros

It is a job ok.

Cons

Dusty and dirty place to work. We have been striped of most benefits. Two years on the job and not a penny in pay-rise. Dictatorship style management at the warehouse. Company brings lots of temp workers and full-time employees constantly constantly un out of work. Temp workers make more $$$ per hour than full time employees...
