Pros

In sales, there is a relative sense of job security even when you are not that good. There are nice benefits like car stipends and insurance.

Cons

If you really want to succeed you simply must become like those above you. While they may say they want people who "think-outside-the-box" I really don't think they really understand what that means. Senior management in the -+55 age range are stifling growth and causing real talent to leave. They would rather you go through the formalities and become a box checker as opposed to questioning why things are done how they are. They are building the future based on the ideas of the past that have succeeded with no variation for today's world. Middle management lacks any real backbone when it comes to allowing senior management to understand what is really going on. You can come in as a great thinker with great ideas but you will soon see others getting promoted simply because they are more like the person above them. The performance review is really somewhat of a joke.

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.
