No work life balance
Pros
• Decent pay once you get used to the pace. • Good benefits package (medical, dental, 401k, etc.). • You’ll stay in shape — it’s definitely a workout every shift. • Some solid coworkers who help you get through the grind. • Job security — always work to be done.
Cons
• Very long hours and mandatory overtime with little notice. • Physically exhausting work — heavy lifting and fast pace every day. • Management communication is poor; expectations change without warning. • Favoritism is common — some people get easier assignments while others get overloaded. • Lack of appreciation for effort or reliability; it often feels like you’re just a number. • Equipment issues like broken jacks or scanners slow down production and increase stress. • Work-life balance is nearly impossible — constant pressure to hit unrealistic production goals.
