Pros

It’s a physical job, there’s a lot of moving around so you’re not stuck at a desk all day. Theres no office culture, you don’t have to constantly kiss up to your boss or pretend you care about what happened to Susan’s annoying kids over the weekend. The job is fast paced, as long as it’s busy time will fly by. The other managers are nice and fun to talk to, and most of upper management is pretty decent as well. Every once and a while the managers will be switched around the building, so you never get too bored or complacent in one area. Also the company only hires from within, so as long as you are good at your job you will eventually move up. And hey! No degree required!

Cons

You never really know how busy it’s going to be until you come in, workflow can change drastically from day to day. Worker turnover can be high so you might end up having to train and re-train new employees. Full time positions are scarce so chances are you’re going to have to work part time for a while. Some of the equipment is super old and broken, you won’t always have enough scanners for your area. If there is an emergency shift over the weekend you are required to come in if they tell you to.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
