Business Outlook
Pros
Exercise. Most warehouse workers ("pickers") will perform hundreds to well over one thousand lifting motions per shift.
Cons
Work/life balance? Hard to have work/life balance when you don't have a life. Be there every time the company says—your scheduled time off, Christmas Eve, whenever—or be fired. Who knew indentured-servitude was still a valid employment model for 21st century America? Americold has experienced multiple on-the-job fatalities in the last three years, yet working conditions still barely rise to the level of sweat shop . . . with personnel policies to match. All the company seems to know is blunt-force coercion: if treating people poorly doesn't work, we'll treat them worse.
