Pros

good pay, ability to add hours

Cons

It's really hard on the body. My wrists and shoulders have tendonitis after six months in a sort center. Most of the jobs involve repetitive motion and/or heavy lifting. Shifts are 3 to 5 hours. Be aware you're not going to be making much money if you have a lot of 3 hour shifts. During peak it will almost always be 5 hour shifts.

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.
