Over all not bad

Pros

Office work is Remote pay is fair depending on the dept you're in management is supportive

Cons

high stress very demanding constant deadlines and always having to record updates and then talk about them in meetings even though they are reviewed by management. Training really isn't that great...at all! you feel like it's a cat and mouse chance to get info about how to do certain parts of your job and there are no reference files or how-to manuals.

Pros

easy responsibilities, great people to work with, amazing benefits, friendly management. Great overtime pay as well: time and a half after 8 hours in day

Cons

Terrible union structure: they have a seniority structure, those in the top 25% get more favoritism and get the easiest roles in the warehouse and on top of that get to leave after 8 hours regardless while everyone else stays to suffer. I thought the point of a union was so everyone suffers together and conversely everyone thrives together as well. Most end up leaving after 2 years because they don't want to be forced to order pick for 8 then load trucks for an additional 4. Overtime hours are horrendous, 9/10 new hires leave within the first 90 days so there's never a consistent work force there, which is why at most points throughout the year you will be working 10-12 hours a day to compensate for the lack of people. Plus, it's forced, so if you don't come in or stay the extra hours, they will give you points. They micro-manage as well, they know exactly the time between you last picked an item and the most recent item you picked after break. So they give you 2 breaks and a lunch but given the standards you are expected to take shorter breaks than what you're entitled to.

Horrible hours

Pros

Decent pay, but only because of the overtime you'll be forced to work

Cons

You have no idea whether you will get to go home at 5pm or 3am. Management will make an estimate at the beginning of the shift which will always be wildly off - regularly we will be told 9 hour shift and be there until 1am. 15-17 hour days are not unusual at all.
