Pros
Coworkers are all decent guys who all pull their weight, shift leader works as hard and as late as his crew, breaks strictly enforced, good PPE (personal protective equipment), regular safety meetings.
Cons
Horrible pay, terrible hours. If you work on the shipping side as a picker or loader, this job is BRUTAL. Constant injuries, extremely heavy windows and doors, and while you have PPE, most of the carts have broken brakes, creating an extremely dangerous situation. The shift is supposed to be 8 hours, but since there's no graveyard shift for the shipping department, swing shift doubles as grave. What this means to you, prospective employee, is that you'll go in at 2:30pm and come off shift sometime between 2am and 4am. Yeah. On average, you'll be working around 12 - 14 hours per shift. Then you'll get to get on the road in that condition. I never ONCE worked a shift where I got to go home at 11pm. The nature of the job and the brutal hours are nowhere NEAR comparable to the pay rate. Trust me, this job is NOT worth the pay or the long term damage to your body.
