Pros

Disorganized management makes it an easy job to keep if you show up. If you set strong boundaries and defend yourself you don’t have to overwork yourself. They rarely fire over making rate, especially if you show up on time and do the job, even if you’re not that good at it. Some managers are cool but usually play favorites, maybe you could make a friend ….

Cons

People in management are miserable, personally and professionally. They will abuse your rights if they can get away with it, and some of them are sadistic people who look down on everyone below them on the totem pole. They use an app to schedule shifts and change scheduled shifts constantly, creating unpredictable work hours that are disrespectful and inconvenient. They squeeze everything they can out of people who are willing to work, and understaff the building on purpose to save money (nothing new). This job is only worth it if you know not to care, always to report injuries and document EVERYTHING, and so long as you remember that they don’t value anyone, not even loyalty, hard work, or valuable experience.

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.
