Pros

Good hourly rate Lots of overtime

Cons

Not all jobs were as tedious as mine but tedious mine was, they positioned me as conveyor belt watcher. This job consisted of staring at a conveyor belt for 8 hours straight. You were not allowed to go on your phone or do anything as it was against health and safety and there is no one to talk to. You may think that sounds like an easy job but standing and watching parcels go by for 8 hours with no other entertainment for your brain is horrible. I believe in the few weeks I stood and watched a conveyor belt it only kicked out a parcel once and I had the reward of pressing a button to stop the machine and place a parcel on the conveyor belt before starting it again.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
