Pros
Weekly pay, benefits, not too difficult to change shifts if needed. Lot of freebies (candy, snacks, travel mugs) from management handed out to staff on holidays and when cases are too damaged to ship. Enough hours the vast majority of the time. The lack of professional behavior (gossip, fights) and blind eye or indulgent behavior in management can be a welcome distraction from the monotony of the job. Health and safety training is thorough for what average workers are expected to do.
Cons
Most employees including management only have the faintest grasp understanding technology. There is very little little credit given to the couple of maintenance workers who literally keep the merge running some days. Most equipment is out of date verging on out of code. OSHA guidelines are held up to the light or stomped on depending on the day and manager. The lack of professional language and dress on the floor extends to pickers bragging about their workplace affairs, picking fights, and showing up intoxicated. Many of the "better" workers are only there because they have too many felonies to be hired elsewhere. Favoritism is key to advancement. Almost too easy to become a forklift operator and have had a couple accidents and a few close calls.
