      Learned a lot from smart people, but really depends on the team you are in

      Pros

      still quite fun since it allows teams to run more independently with clear ownership and reasonable autonomy.

      Cons

      some teams and some work becomes uninteresting, because of the pursuit of keeping things run better rather than inventing new ways to do the same thing or new things to do. management can easily become boring and impersonal when the managers are incapable or uninterested in making real positive changes and take some risks. many middle-tier managers should be fired or demoted for that reason.

      Pros

      pay was good. 12/hr. only 4 workdays 10 hour days.

      Cons

      large fans in warehouse blow dirt dust cardboard particles everywhere. When working the pollution inside would irritate skin and lungs. concrete floors are not good for walking fast and painful on joints after a few hours of work. Penalized for taking restroom breaks. Walk over 20 miles a day and need to drink lots of water which means many workers need to relieve themselves. Your "rate" is still counted when in restroom. Not a true 30 min or 15 min break. penalized for 1 minute after clocking in even if there is a huge line because there isnt enough machines to clock thousands of people in efficiently. Limitied days off and penalized for taking days off of work for medical issues (strep throat) even if medical release is accepted its counted on ur days off as well.
