Pros

Great people to work with, it feels like a team.

Cons

Sometimes they would hire bad leaders. This would lead to bad morale, and it felt like you were just trying to get there and get out as soon as you could. They have favoritism when it comes to hiring and promotions.

Pros

Decent pay, good benefits, and opportunities to cross train for other departments.

Cons

Despite somehow being always understaffed with callouts, you will still manage to not get the hours you need while being burdened with helping out with the shortcomings of other often lazier and/or badly understaffed/mismanaged departments.

Pros

Work is relatively fun-- use the machines to take down pallets, pull items to go onto the floor, smash cardboard and clean up back room. Plus, I got a 15 minute break twice per 8 hour day.

Cons

Pay wasn't that great and full-time wasn't available during certain times of the year.
