Pros

Kept busy. Days went by quickly. Wage was decent but not spectacular.

Cons

No real clear direction or communication. Not exactly new person friendly regarding both orientation and overall warehouse cataloguing. Major things, like vacation, sick time, pto or pay schedule were BRIEFLY touched on but never fully explained. They expected the online orientation courses to cover all that when most other places would have the course and then discuss the matters in-person. Management expected the machine to run itself and got irritated whenever they had to get involved. Never knew how we were standing overall and had to run to three different people at any time to get answers. Most the time those same people would direct toward someone else to get the job done, and it would be months into the job until someone would finally mention a given task we should've been doing the whole time that we were wholly unaware of. Employee Privacy and Privilege was a far-flung notion at best and personal issues were the immediate source of gossip for the entire warehouse.

Pros

5 day weeks. No on call. Basic benefits. Very stable job. Some promotion from within in.

Cons

Corrupt incentives drive leadership to be harsh. Leadership is secretive. It all depends on who your boss is. Pay lags behind experience and effort. Honestly, too many negatives to list them all.
