Pros
the money is seriously the only pro about this job.but still it is nowhere near worth it.
Cons
worked as a warehouse loader in Elyria,OH and was really excited to get the job being it was permanent full-time and had a union as well.well lets just say i learned very fast that not everything is what you are told it will be,my 40 hour week became 60+ hours a week of MANDATORY overtime also i never received a 2nd day off,it was mandatory 6 days a week.As for a work day it consisted of starting at 4pm and working until atleast 4;30 am and after 12 hours on the job the union negotiated you can "walk off" for the day.but keep in mind if the job was not complete and you leave after a long grueling 12 hour shift,management still holds it against.also while most jobs have atleast a few paid sick days,not here,you get 2 personal days until you have been there for a year and then you get the standard weeks vacation.keep in mind until then you only have "8 points" until you get terminated this is a yearly point system and calling off from work = 1 point and coming in late or going home early + 1/2 a point,so basically you can only miss at the most 7 and a half days of work in a year before you get fired and remember,it is not a normal 8 hour a day 5 days a week gig,you will be working 10-12 hours a day guaranteed and 6 days a week,if you do happen to get your second day off and they need you to come in,guess what?if you don't come in...you take a point.i must stress this when i say there is absolutely NO WORK/LIFE BALANCE HERE.i am sure not all the warehouses are like this,i am just sharing my experience and hope you can take away from it what you will,good luck.
