Pros

$11 an hour starting is a very attractive offer. The management always treats you with respect. Your schedule is very dependable and doesn't change on you. You at least know what days you're working (M-F) and can count on getting out of work by a certain time. (For example, no later than 5pm for day sort)

Cons

It is very easy to hurt yourself while performing job duties, but that is just the nature of the job. Working part time seasonly makes it mandatory for you to come in Sunday through Friday in the whole of December for the most part. That wouldn't be a problem if they worked you for more than an average of two hours a shift. The most hours you can get in one shift is four if you're lucky, but it's both a rare occurrence and you wouldn't want to work four or more hours a day anyway due to how exhausting the work is. The management is indeed very courteous and respectful, but it's very easy to see past the charade. I have done a poor job by manager's standards, yet everyday regardless of how I do, I am always told something along of the lines of "good job" or "thank you for the help". You are just another number whenever working in warehouses where you handle packages by hand. The courtesy and forced respect on their part is essentially a slap in the face, especially when they just spent an entire shift telling you the exact opposite. It'd be more respectful if they just didn't say anything. There is about a week of training, but on the job safety isn't as in depth as other places I've worked, such as UPS Ground in Harrisburg.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
