Pros

Easy to get hired. Short shifts make it great for some people. The pace is usually nonstop and intense, filling up the whole shift. At our location, there is a core of very hard working people who assist and support one another. You get benefits as a part time employee.

Cons

You cannot live on this job alone. The work is physical and demanding and can do some harm to your body. The manager plays favorites and some people get away with doing as little as possible. It is dirty and you are exposed to the elements in the winter. Very little chance for advancement and not enough hours to support existence. Peak Season can easily burn you out.

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.
