Pros

Decent pay, decent benefits, weekends off

Cons

Understaffed, physical labor not evenly distributed amongst the few employees that are present during shift. Company claims to be family oriented, but work/life balance is little or none. No flexibility in schedule, very strict policies that are employer biased, company does not value employees or hardwork, just production goals and times. I worked in the Ankeny Ia warehouse FT as a package handler and they hire alot of PT employees with mental health issues, so they are limited in their job performance which leaves the bulk of labor placed on those who do not have those issues, which I am not an opponent of equal opportunity, but if a disability prevents a person from performing a job in which they were hired then accommodations should be made so other employees do not get overworked.
