Pros

- Decent pay because of union negotiating - Actual work was not too difficult, often busy - Totally allowed people to abuse the attendance system (only listed as pro, because if the environment got to you, you could call in without repercussion)

Cons

- Nearly daily basis were told we make more money and our KPIs are less than any of their other facilities - Favoritism - Complete your task and told to complete someone else's, never dealing with the individual that is under performing - Allowed harassment, verbal, sexual, and especially physical. Management and HR would even encourage it. - The sexual harassment allowed was like one of those bad VHS films you watch about harassment in the workplace. Except this was occurring in 2018 not 1988 - Allowed employees under the influence from the night before, to operate machinery (chew some gum they were told) - One employee was defeathering a goose one day in the facility, encouraged by our supervisor to continue. Supervisor finally gave in and told employee to stop after multiple complaints from co-workers.

Pros

somewhat decent hourly pay for people in lower leadership and not close enough to be decent but manageble hourly pay for associates. Overtime if you like that

Cons

- never see you families/partners again - company over camaraderie -mental and physical health are not prioritised and not important over the customer/client contract -Management treats you like a number instead of a human being - not allowed to speak out against inhumane conditions or mistreatment - corporate HR has been compromised and doesnt care about your well being - Exempt employees (salary paid) are REQUIRED to work overtime without any compensation. (working 30+ hours outside of regular 40 hours) -Administrative office personnel and in-house HR (P&O) treat warehouse employees like lower class uneducated subhumans or worse than dirt. - Consequences if you report Administrative personnel, management, or leadership for sexual harassment or assault
