Pros

Semi flexible scheduling, Weekly pay, good health insurance and benefits package, good honest job

Cons

This company is very good at promising promotion to make you work harder for a position they never intend on giving you in the first place. The turn over rate is so high, that you basically have to start over with a new manager a couple times a year and as a result expectations are often unclear or a double standard. It is not uncommon to get contradicting instructions from 2 different managers. The company tries to cut labor costs and cut corners so that you end up doing 40 hours of work in 28 hours of pay. They do not care if they are overworking you, if you get injured as a result, it’s your problem. They don’t care about the employee just the company’s bottom line. The union won’t do anything for you pretty much with any issue you bring to the table. Their ordering system is set up to send you a crap ton of backstock but they absolutely will not give you the time to work it so it ends up piling up in the back room, no matter how good you are with managing inventory.
