Pros

Highest paid warehouse job in my area offering overtime that gives you Time and a half pay and double time pay. Subsidised canteen A lot of overtime available Options to switch to different roles

Cons

Long hours short breaks Some overtime is mandatory Constant performance monitoring that puts you at a disadvantage for basic bodily functions like needing the bathroom. As its a warehouse the bathroom could be the otherside of the building and you could end up getting a paycut due to the inevitable long trip that its gonna take.

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.
