Pros

-Your co-workers are usually pretty good people who work extremely hard- building camaraderie -Sort of flexible schedule that allows you to go to school or work another job; that is, if your supervisor likes you -Full health benefits for entire family (>9 months of employment)-paid by employer -You get paid (not a lot) to workout and you will build muscle (if you remember to eat) -Almost impossible to get fired unless you steal something or fight someone

Cons

-You will sweat, be sore, and you will be forced to use your health benefits due to injuries/illness -Be ready up for never-ending battles with management- all the way up the ladder -Management will harass you constantly; esp when you try to take bathroom breaks -You will lose sleep from the early AM start times; esp during peak season -Terribly dirty environment- black dust gets into your nose, mouth and lungs -NO air conditioning and usually no heat either; fans at loading doors are a joke -You provide your own work equipment and clothing (gloves, boots, back-brace, etc) -No forklifts, dollies, or other lifting equipment is provided for unloading -Must go through security before and after every shift- due to theft

Pros

Large company that affords lots of job options for entry-level and new employees.

Cons

Poor merit-based performance rating system that allows a single manager to completely control an employee's advancement trajectory; no performance input is allowed from peers, and dotted-line management. If a manager is reluctant to let a high performing employee leave his/her team, there is very little remedy for the employee to address this when it happens.
