Avantages
-Weekly pay -Opportunities for overtime (although mandatory during peak season) -Co-workers and immediate supervisors were friendly (for the most part)
Inconvénients
-Little to NO training (approximately 10 minutes in my case; the facilities are loud and the "trainer" had a very thick, foreign accent, so we could not hear her nor could we understand her) -Extremely physically laborious (my body ached at the end of my shift) -Employees are expendable (much like cattle herding) -I was written up on my 3rd day for not packing boxes fast enough (You are tracked and your stats are constantly being recorded, yet I was moved around from station to station for approximately 2 hours because the technology wasn't working at various stations; this threw my stats off, which was not taken into consideration -I was hired at the Haslet location (which is right by my home), yet I was sent to Coppell (which is 45 minutes away) at the last minute and given a shift and days off that I did not sign up for. -Zero work/life balance -Employees that are not management are not allowed to have cell phones on the floor. This is understandable, but when there are other employees (e.g. supervisors, facilities, etc) who are standing around watching you "slave" tirelessly, talking and texting on their own cell phones, wasting their own time, it is especially demeaning, is bad business, and reflects poor leadership/values).
