Pros

Union Benefits, Decent Culture, Fair Pay, Exercise, Additional Opportunities such as Driver Help (Best part of the job)

Cons

Exhausting, Sometimes Unpredictable. Scanners don't always work. Conditions can get rough in the winter. Packages sometimes pile up way too fast and/or break open, spilling contents into the workspace. You can get injured easily if you aren't careful. You may be replaced or let go by the end of peak season (during the holidays) regardless of your work ethic if you miss the deadline for permanent preloader applications.

“Oops”

Pros

Holiday bonus was decent, I guess.

Cons

Disorganized, full time employees hated the seasonal workers because they were all doing months of double and triple shifts. Everyone is a “part time supervisor” Six people barking different orders at you without ever discussing the plan amongst themselves. I was actually struck by a piece of equipment there, no one reacted to it, I helped myself to a place to sit, while I waited for them to do something. I ended up driving myself to the urgent care because the manager was not accepting the call. I was forced to come into work the next day. Don’t work here unless you have friends there already.
