Pros

You will lose weight and get fit. The work is hard, but the physical benefits and pay help offset the difficulty. Plus, there is room to grow in the company if you are dedicated enough.

Cons

Our hours kept fluctuating which made it difficult to figure out an average weekly salary. (However, the company was very timely about delivering their paychecks to employees.) I was promised to work five hour shifts, but as time went on that was reduced to three and I sometimes worked less than three hours a day. Once, I was asked to not come in because there was not enough work. Even the full-timers were getting their hours cut with some complaining about "two-hour lunches" meaning that their (unpaid) meal break was extended to two hours instead of the normal (and state-required) 30 minutes. The only time I was able to work five hour shifts was during the holiday rush in December.

Pros

Great flexibility with scheduling, which makes it incredibly easy to balance with school or other external commitments. The team environment is supportive, and the management generally respects your availability

Cons

The physical workload can be quite demanding and tiring, especially during peak seasons. Depending on the shift, communication across different teams can sometimes feel a bit unorganized.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
