Pros

Great benefits, competitive salary, Mon-Fri schedule

Cons

in the Bins Department, where they place most of their new employees, you either meet their one error/month quota, or you will be put on written warning and subsequently let go if you don't improve. No exceptions! No room for advancement unless you are a manager favorite. They say they don't pressure you to work faster, but if you don't, you will have a supervisor breathing down your neck, also other fillers will get frustrated with you if you aren't picking up work as fast as they are. So you are constantly working fast, regardless of how heavy the materials are (and they get very heavy depending on where you are). Not for the faint of heart or physical ability.

Pros

Benefits, Benefits, Benefits. You will never work nights or weekends. Great work-life balance. Great way to save money and pay off bills.

Cons

No room to move up the corporate latter. In this company you can go work in different departments but if your not hired as a manager trainee than you will not become a manager. This company does not promote from within.
