Pros

You get $11.50 an hour now, starting out, I've been there for 3 months and already making $12 hr. being a college student and working 4 hours a day is working out well for me and on days I don't have class I can usually always pick up shifts. They also give you the opportunities to move up in the company and they come very quickly.

Cons

It is a tough job. You really are working in the trenches here. Expect to need to be in decent shape. Although it can be difficult in the beginning, once you learn the job, it gets very easy. Usually older people and females get jobs more suited to their abilities, but men can also get easier jobs. You just have to be willing to work hard and keep coming back. I've seen 70 year old men do the job I did in the beginning, and you most certainly can do it.

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.
