Pros

You will lose weight and get fit. The work is hard, but the physical benefits and pay help offset the difficulty. Plus, there is room to grow in the company if you are dedicated enough.

Cons

Our hours kept fluctuating which made it difficult to figure out an average weekly salary. (However, the company was very timely about delivering their paychecks to employees.) I was promised to work five hour shifts, but as time went on that was reduced to three and I sometimes worked less than three hours a day. Once, I was asked to not come in because there was not enough work. Even the full-timers were getting their hours cut with some complaining about "two-hour lunches" meaning that their (unpaid) meal break was extended to two hours instead of the normal (and state-required) 30 minutes. The only time I was able to work five hour shifts was during the holiday rush in December.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
