Pros

Co-workers were mostly awesome! If you want decent pay around the holidays this is a good place to get it. My supervisor was one of the best I'd ever worked under.

Cons

Full-time during peak season which is mid-November to New Years means 12 hours a day. There is no time to cook a meal, and doing laundry and housework is done on your one day off which means no rest. And you need rest because it is heavy lifting for the entire 12 hours. Oh and your lunch break is rushed with about 20 minutes, so you had better have packed a lunch and eat fast because that belt starts whether you are ready or not. I have no idea how the single parents managed.

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.
