Cons
Break times of 15 minutes include the travel time to refreshments/restrooms.-This place is HUGE(like-8 football fields?) so returning to work within( 15 minutes from scan to scan) is difficult to feel refreshed. Restrooms are ONLY on 1st floor so if it takes 3 minutes to get to restroom-you risk being"Off task" infraction-if you don't plan well---Staying hydrated is VERY important due to being a air-cooled(not air conditioned) atmosphere 85 degrees in winter times-hotter in summer--so choose well on dressing lightly ,moving fast and strengthen your bladder .LOL. Lunch time of 30 minutes seems short for travel times to break-rooms(3 minutes),after going through security checks( 0-1 minute as long as you remove your metal items{coins,belts,keys,watches safety blades] and send them through the side counter..Mass lunch group sometimes mean choosing to eat a cold lunch because microwaves are very busy in break-room You may start your day on the West side (where your locker,coat and lunch is-) only to be moved to the East side till lunch. It is 565 steps to East-Side from west side for me LOL. Basically I consider LUNCH to be(( 20/25- minutes)) due to commute times./security line- Sometimes eat for 15 minutes-grab coat-smoke outside in designated area for 7 minutes-put coat away-6 min to work space to/from and 2 minutes to use restroom..= 27 minutes if ya don't dilly dally ... Performance requirements are a corporate demanding quality to succeed in business- sometimes" circumstances" make it tough to reach goals expected. You MUST work> Smart/Efficient/Fast.and Safely/Steadily. Con: some co-workers don't always share the responsibility/integrity needed. "Cherry-Picking" the easiest work helps their rates but leaves others doing the harder more time consuming tasks. Failing to meet expectations in quality /performance/quantity will create disciplinary path- You MUST FIRST SUCCEED "to be able to transfer" to another position you may be better suited for..
