Pros

Mindless work; you don't really have to think much or deal with customers

Cons

Packager handlers are rewarded for unsatisfactory work; weak links are expected to be subsidized by everyone else; some employees handle far far less volume than others (I average 700-900 packages per day, others handle 80-10); Managers worry too much about efficiency without knowing how much more difficult they make the job; instead of listening to employee concerns, manager rattle off platitudes about "positive attitudes", and "slow and steady wins the race", without actually having the experience of handling such back-breaking work; they say they hire and promote from within, yet as an employee, you are still required to go through bureaucratic online application process rather than being directly promoted; TERRIBLE electronic equipment; favoritism and inability to properly discipline employees; everyone speaking Spanish

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
