Pros

Good job for someone who has daycare issues and needs to be home during the day. Benefits were adequate. Great for a night person who doesn't like traffic and staying up all night. Shift differential for graveyard shift was a plus.

Cons

Found out that while on graveyard shift, (8:30-5:00 am), even though your shift may end on a holiday, you will NOT get holiday pay for those hours. Your shift is fully paid for the day on which you started working. THAT was a drawback. Management for the graveyard shift was NEVER there, and the operations were run by Lead Processors - some were knowledgeable but others were not. Literacy is a HUGE problem here- seems like high school drop outs were hired and even promoted to management. The graveyard shift - don't do it if you want a life. Worst 3 years of my life. Zero chance to move into daytime hours.

Pros

Pay is higher than most in the area. Hours are good. Benefits are good.

Cons

It’s very difficult to get time off for anything, regardless of how much vacation time you have. Only 15% of those hours will carry over and you lose what you’ve worked for and weren’t able to use. Not enough floats to cover the territory so people can actually get time off. Pay raises aren’t very good.
