Pros

Great pay and benefits for a part-time job. Excellent tuition reimbursement program. Sort managers were great to work with. Management is very flexible in allowing time off and using vacation time. However, vacation time must be used by fiscal year end because it doesn't roll over.

Cons

Very dirty environment. Loud. Very hot in the summer. Cold in the winter. Physically demanding job. Got to check every package and beware of SALTs. Unloaders must meet merge line goals of 1000 packages per hour. Loaders must familiarize themselves with load charts and ensure packages are loaded in the correct trailers. Very high turnover.

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.
