      4 month review, don't plan on being here much longer

      Pros

      - Third shift gets three days off a week - The PTO is generous after 90 days but the medical is a bit high - Can buy product from warehouse at wholesale price

      Cons

      - Extremely old and outdated warehouse system. Better off using pen and paper - 401k is a 50 cent on the dollar match, and there is a fee associated with the account - Too much hassle regarding "down time" even when making your numbers or doing something else that isn't scanning a box every 3 minutes

      Pros

      Great leadership, willing to change with times.

      Cons

      Slow to act, old school practices and people in middle management continue to keep meaningful progress from being made.

      Pros

      Easy interview process and a great job to work at while going to school. Job is very easy and doesn't take long to get trained. Not much to it.

      Cons

      Very repetitive and boring. No potential for promotions and not a job you want to stay at very long.
