      Great place to start!

      Pros

      - Gain some very useful management skills, such as communication and time management. - You get out what you put in, it is your leadership that will lead to success or lack thereof. - Room for growth, although it is a competitive talent pool. - Safety culture is stressed. - Amazing benefits, including tuition reimbursement and tuition discounts for certain colleges.

      Cons

      - You might end up putting in 75% of the total work and get little to no recognition. - If one part of the warehouse suffers, the rest can crash and burn if there is no team work between areas. - Management can and will ask you to do things you don't want to do, such as work off the clock. - Safety is stressed, but then when something "goes wrong" or it is really busy, safety is probably the last thing management cares about. - You will work with Type A personalities: lots of swearing and a lack of respect.

      I work as a package handler the 4am to 9am Mon-Fri shift.

      Pros

      - Great job to work through school with. - The tuition assistance program will reimburse you for up to $5,250 a year. - The company provides all sorts of free food during peak season and as a reward for meeting production goals. - Getting done by 9am is helpful so you could pick up a second job or go to school. - You will never have to work on weekends, even during peak(at least for the shift I work). - They hire from within so there is good opportunity for advancement if you want to go that path.

      Cons

      - Unbelievably high expectations. They will squeeze every ounce of productivity and efficiency out of you. During heavy weeks I would go hours at a time without enough time to take a sip of water no joke. - Waking up around 3am five days a week will wear on you especially if you have a lot going on outside of work. - Hours are brutal around Christmas. I worked as a driver helper during peak in addition to my preload sort shift and I was working 60 hours some weeks doing hard physical labor. - Extremely high stress environment. If you are physically or mentally weak this job will break you. A lot of new hires have quit after only a couple of days.

      Pros

      If you plan on staying with the company for the rest of your life this is the place for you.

      Cons

      There slogan "fair day work for a fair wage" is ridiculous; you work as a slave for $40 a day. While you're busting your butt, your part-time supervisor, and full-time director are on their phones and joking around. If you dare get below 350 PPH (which no one can get to) you will be ridiculed for not keeping up with pace. The union is a joke, and they are to blame for a lot of their problems. Package handling will be the most physical job you ever had in your life, guaranteed.
