Pros

The pay is well but the amount of stress this job will put the body under during a 11 hour shift with no days off for 6 days straight is hardly worth it. Find something else don’t get sucked into this place.

Cons

Management is horrible. When I applied through a temp agency they said there might be mandatory overtime during “peak” season (mid November through December). The regular shift is 4 10s, that went up to 6 11s after two weeks. Nonstop work, not one manager or PR gives a crap about the kind of pain working that much can cause to you and if you even think about leaving early because your legs are in excruciating pain they will be very heartless about it. They don’t care at all and they will take joy in making you feel bad for leaving. Or just try to guilt trip you into staying. The last two months I haven’t felt comfortable talking to a single manager, I truly mean not even one. I am very clearly just a temporary work horse they are paying to do a job. Not one of my 4 other jobs have I ever felt so under appreciated or in life in general. Jet will work you as hard and long as they can with no assurances to whether or not you’ll get to keep the job. You get 5 points or 5 days off. If your under 55 minutes late it’s half a point, anything over an hour is a full point. During the peak season I mentioned before there’s no circumstance at all in which you can schedule a day off to avoid a point. You have to take a point. 30 minute lunches for an 11 hour shift is just disgusting. I could go on but I’ll leave it at that.

Pros

The culture was awesome, with one rule (Be Nice) I loved Jet. We kicked some major #$^^ so much so that Walmart bought us and killed us. We had fun, it was like working at an all night rave music and dancing while we worked. hard to describe, you had to be there.

Cons

the pay wasn't the best but the benefits more than made up for it. The insurance was fantastic, the fun we had at work was enough to make up for the lack of pay.
