Pros

It's employment Benefits are decent OT is good when you can get I can't really think of anything else at the moment.

Cons

Recruiters promise one thing and the warehouses don't deliver! First few pay checks were awesome then they have been going downhill from there! Benefits are decent but still far too expensive! Within two weeks of being hired I have already noticed constant rumors of mass layoffs! They don't communicate that there is a 90 day period in which one tiny mistake can lead to termination!

Waste of time.

Pros

Looked like you could meet some good people and the break room was cool. Great business idea but poorly run.

Cons

Boiler Room job. Your pay will stay around $11/hr or less, if you do the math for 4-6 months. Most deals fall through because of red tape. If you don't have a ton of money saved for at least 4-6 months then you will be sad you took the job. It seemed like a used car salesman gathering in my opinion. I wish I was not promised or sold a bag of wind. I left a great job for broken promises. Get use to the word overtime because you will be working 10-14 days a lot.
