Pros

Started at 11.76/hr with increases at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months. We've even had an across the board raise for all package handlers since I've been here. Impressive benefits earned in a short amount of time. Management is flexible with days time off at my station. You can actually make a living here without a degree. If you work hard you can be promoted quickly.

Cons

It can be back-breaking work. It will wear on your body if you aren't young/somewhat fit. There are rough days where we get more packages than expected. The boxes seem to never stop coming but if you keep your head up and you and your co-workers can work well together, you can keep it fun even when things get rough.

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.
