Pros

You have a forty hour post. They provide uniforms (though in my 5 months, I've yet to receive mine.) They say they have benefits. I haven't seen a welcome package in the 5 months (since buying out ISMG) I have been here though.

Cons

No paper paystubs. Everything is handled through e-hub (e-hub is microsoft silverlight only). Upper management ignores their posts. You can't get anyone to answer the phone in California. Payroll is handled in California. Promotion is non-existent.

Pros

Hours were okay. Not a bad work life balance.

Cons

I was terminated for a manufactured reason. I was unfortunate enough to work at the Amazon facility at Helgeson Road in Madison, a contract Universal has now lost. I was merely doing my job on a day I was the only one of three security guards to arrive to work on time at 4:45 am. My colleagues overslept, were sick or otherwise came in three hours late for work. I was made the fall guy after an Amazon manager wrongfully assumed I was forbidding the workers from entering workspace during the time before my senior colleagues finally bothered to show up for work. A horrible experience and a textbook example of lousy management from both Universal and Amazon.
