Pros

Fine, if it’s not your main source of income and you know what you’re walking into. Pay is decent, but hours depend on volume and your willingness to go out of your way to work at other stations. They require 6 day work weeks during the holidays which isn’t too bad, because it usually also comes with pay incentives. However, most employees are not made aware when they are hired.

Cons

Don’t work here if you plan on making your whole living here… Fast-paced, intense physical labor with no breaks. (I’ve gotten sent home for stoping briefly for water/food after going non-stop for hours.) Communication is terrible. They will cut your hours and pay for the potential of very little profit. I’ve watched them force managers out of positions with as little as two weeks to figure something else out. I have also watched them seemingly ignore problems with a manager who was known to be inappropriate with women. He still works for the company. They have promised pay incentives and then attempted to not follow through on that promise (employees had to threaten quitting and lawsuits). They will hire you at full-time status, fail to give you full-time hours, then force you into part-time ($2/hr pay difference).

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.
