Pros

Good physical workout, a few nice coworkers, pay check every week, nice benefits for full time employees

Cons

Management doesn't show any real respect to employees or give proper recognition for quality work, they often make mistakes on your pay check, they barely provide you with enough hours, promotion is almost impossible, Extremely hard labor, temperatures are the same inside the warehouse as they are outside, strenuous security procedures when leaving and entering warehouse facility, poor training

Pros

Nice PT job for college student Paid Weekly Transfer Opportunities

Cons

Management obviously. There was one good Senior Management but he transferred and things went to hell from there. They are very sexist there. If you're a hot girl you will get your way, come in late and never get wrote up or fired, men always get hassled and fired, either way it should be equal. If you're not valuable you won't get respected by management. One manager does everything from the book and as no personality which makes it hard to work for. One only hires hot women and doesn't care about their resume. You could work for McDonalds and show up at the interview and be hired without experience. The management likes to gang up when firing, they will monitor any little thing you do to get rid of you. They allow drunk workers on the dock and not send them home and in one scenario, they awarded one for employee of the month. Employees will threaten each other and almost fight, management doesn't do anything about it.

Pros

Great opportunities to advance. I've been a package handler for about a year now and am now about to advance to a full time administrative associate position with full benefits. Awesome hours if you're a student. At my terminal, there's two shifts for package handlers: inbound(3am - 7am) or outbound(5pm -9pm) leaving plenty of time for any other daily activities you may have. It's like a paid workout. I've lost so much weight working as a package handler, and I've gained a lot of muscle mass. It's nice knowing that I'm getting paid to improve my strength. If you're a hard worker, you will receive recognition through quality recognition points(which you can redeem for nifty hooded sweatshirts or hats or whatever) and employee of the month awards.

Cons

Some managers are pretty lazy and useless. I've only had one manager that I really respect for the amount of effort they apply to their position. It does get REALLY hot and REALLY COLD in the terminal. I've come close to passing out while loading trucks before in the summer. They do provide juice/water on these hot days, but still, it's flippin hot. The terminal I was at before I transferred to my current one actually would not turn on the heat in the winter, so it was freakishly cold in the winter, and you couple that with sweating and it's just uncomfortable. High turnover rate. If you're working at a bigger terminal, be prepared to see alot of people just walking out or quitting randomly, and leaving alot of slack for you to pick up. My advice for this situation is, just keep your mouth shut, stay optimistic, and just do the work. You'll receive recognition better this way.
