Pros

My coworkers and I are all extremely close. The communication and help we give each other is great. I also like how the drivers are extremely nice to us and friends with many of us. My manager is extremely nice and tries to take care of all of us as if we are family.

Cons

Outdated. Everything is either dirty or broken. It is a problem. I have only been working there for a few weeks but when I started working there I was forced to watch hours of training videos. Once I actually started driving and packing freight, every rule has been broken right before me and I've even been trained to do just that.

No Cons for the company in general. Did not agree with certain perspectives and practices of management at the particular location I was employed, though the company as a whole is a great place to work.

Pros

Good pay with no higher education requirements. Strange working hours might be a good shift for some. Great for those who fear social interactions as talking to coworkers during work hours is prohibited. Other departments are supposedly better, but generally a minimum of a year to transfer and often take a pay cut.

Cons

Never know how long you will have to work until just before the end of your regular shift. OT is mandatory and some weeks you will work 50+ hours, others 36. Obvious favoritism by management Worst training program, period. You must learn by doing and there is a lot of pressure to pick it up fast. Your pay is extremely low the first six months. Constantly changing rules that you must keep up with because if you don't do everything exactly according to them you are fired or your pay is cut because salary is based on accuracy and speed. Carpel Tunnel Syndrome is a given if you stay in this position. You are chained to your desk for however long your shift is for the night. UHC healthcare is only option and they are terrible. They will run you and your docs around in circles to avoid paying anything. HR is clueless. They never seem to get the paperwork done for hiring process in a timely manner and some of the questions, especially about your health history, may have been illegal. Working hours are hard to adjust to because it isn't 2nd or 3rd shift; it is 2.5. OT and lack of sleep can be stressful for you and anyone you live with.
