Pros

Steady bonuses and occasional overtime opportunities Physical work keeps you active Some flexibility in shift patterns (depending on location) Clear productivity targets so you always know expectations. Team camaraderie among some co-workers in similar roles

Cons

Toxic Highly demanding physical labor with little recovery time Contract renewals often tied to extreme productivity (“work like a horse”) Competition between workers is encouraged, creating a tense environment Unpleasant or rude interactions with certain delivery drivers Favoritism in task assignments or promotions Unprofessional behavior from some managers Lack of meaningful workplace culture or community Absolutely no opportunities for advancement without sacrificing work-life balance (work like a horse for the rest of your life) Frequent last-minute shift changes or mandatory overtime Strict time monitoring and limited break flexibility High turnover, which can lead to understaffing and heavier workloads

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.
