Pros

decent pay, 4 day work week

Cons

Hideous management, super high stress, unbelievably disorganized, treated like a work horse with no breaks. Place is a revolving door with the company spending more money training people who leave because their expectations are ridiculous then to pay the ones who stay better, or make the work environment less stressful and hire more help in the stressed areas like transportation.

Okay job if warehouse is your thing

Pros

The pay, you will not find a place that was willing to pay as much as them for the type of work . I think base was 21.75 and you got bumps based off of shift, weekend, speed, and working in freezer. I think maxed entry level you can make up to 28.75 on Sundays and 26ish weekdays. You’re basically alone all day and if you need help someone can definitely answer your questions. I was part time but you pick your schedule and only had to work Sundays guaranteed. All other days and shifts you pick weekly

Cons

The monotony of working in a bunker like freezing warehouse stacking a pallet for 8 hours thinking about how some people have to be crazy to do this for 35 years. Absolutely no brain stimulation. One of the reasons I quit was that, but there’s no fixing that when it comes to manual labor like this. If you’re full time you will have to stay over sometimes
