Pros

No customers to deal with. Coworker were nice to work with. Free food every 3 months.

Cons

Management does not encourage development of workers. No room for advancement for truly hard workers. Favoritism. Sexual harassment. Not following corporate policies. Safety is a last priority if at all. Extreme lack of communication between all levels of management and management and “regular” employees. Security is lackluster and any gunman could get into the facility with minimal effort. Known theft amongst management and employees with no repercussions. Health/ sanitation regulations knowingly ignored and looked over.(no soap or tissue in womens bathroom first 2 months) Threatening the job of employees if not wanting to do something deemed unsafe. (Water pipe broke and building flooded. Jobs were threatened to be taken away if we did not keep working in 3+ inches of water..see next concern for more details.) Shipping out knowingly/ purposely damaged merchandise. (Made to load water flooded boxes, that included electronics, onto trucks to be shipped to customers that should be damaged out.) Etc.

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.
