Pros

-Good pay for the skill level needed. -It'll be hard to find another part time job out there with a benefits package this good. -You really do get a workout (I dropped 15 pound in the first two weeks). -My manager was very professional, attentive and fair. -If you do good, you'll get noticed and you'll move up. -People are hired from within, so pretty much all the management started from the very bottom.

Cons

-Hours are bad (I worked the "morning shift" which was midnight until 6am or later) and hard to get used to. -At the beginning you pretty much get no time off except for weekends and 6 holidays, sure you can accrue days off even in the beginning, but the senior people get to pick their days off first. So you have to plan vacations, or even time off a year in advance. -Sometimes the work itself (sorting boxes) can get overwhelming, repetitive, and tedious. -From what I heard, not all the managers are as good as mine was.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
