Pros

Quick hiring, free uniform, indoors

Cons

A typical day at work involves running on a tight schedule like a robot. No moment is wasted. What I mean by this, is that even if you are standing at a cash register, if there is nobody in the line, you can't stand there. You must unpack a pallet nearby while keeping an eye on the till and the self check area. You are exposed to extreme cold The shoes are akin to something from the Spanish Inquisition. You will go home with severe physical pain even if you are young and in shape. You are doing heavy lifting, pulling, and pushing around the clock. You will be mistreated while you do it. The management is worse than incompetent. They are just bad people. The workplace culture is sociopathic. The worst things about this job, are not the tasks, but the management and culture while you work your behind off. No there is no employee discount and no you will not have an hour lunch break, they get out of that by making you take two 15 minute breaks instead. Only enough time to stare at your phone, not time for a human being to have a reasonable segment of time to recharge at an abusive job. Do not work here. The wage they offer serves only to prey on the poor and the young.
