Pros
- production team has a regular start time, no weekends - you can start earning bonuses are a few months if you meet quotas - benefits are available to full time staff - the co-workers are really nice and help each other out - we had a lot of pizza parties and potlucks
Cons
- physically and mentally demanding. A lot of the employees have various injuries from work and they are all stressed, a few had to go to anti-depressants to handle the stress from work - there is no scheduled end time, you're done when the quota is met or your team has logged too many hours which wrecks havoc with personal schedules - start at minimum wage - there are lots of loop-holes to get out of paying bonuses to new employees - very difficult to get full time employment, most people are part time, you can't get benefits and you have lower bonuses as part time - it's a really sketchy company, they keep the amount they pay to their community partners a secret, many things that are not sold are thrown in the garbage, and clothes are sold to third world countries which destroys their local clothing industry - the prices for items are arbitrarily made to meet a price quota, not necessarily because they're worth a lot of money and frontline staff are blamed for this, never management - my store gave wrong information about a worker's ability to refuse unsafe work by saying that if the health and safety committee found a work site to be safe, they had to return to work and didn't say they could appeal to the Ministry of Labour
