Pros
-Get a great workout, not gonna lie. -Kind coworkers, fun to talk to when there’s not 560 packages in front of you -Good starting pay -They’ll hire literally anyone -Get paid weekly
Kontras
-Managers do not care -Pay takes forever to increase -HORRIBLE scheduling -Hours are incredibly volatile -ZERO work/life balance -Waking up early -Easy to get injured by falling boxes, tires -You’re paid a ridiculously low salary considering the tough manual labor you put in. -The job itself makes you feel worthless. -No water/bathroom breaks -Your only “break” time is the time between package volleys flying down the chute -Company talks about benefits yet I’ve heard PLENTY of stories from people who are eligible, yet can’t get healthcare, etc because the company skirts right around it. -Wicked hot/humid -Insane security checkpoint at the front complete with a metal detector -Can’t even use your phone to keep track of time. They WANT you to forget about the time to work you harder -The back pain gets worse and worse every day, with the only respite being Sunday/Monday -Your hands will get mangled -All you will think about at night is the numbers on the packages. It’s quite haunting to be perfectly honest.
