Pros

The benefits! No threat of being laid off. The company is constantly building new stores. The company has no debt & has a huge cash reserve, no worries about company going bankrupt.

Cons

The 6 month evaluation process: Basically one starts with 30 points. If you score 25 pts or lower you will lose pay. You can be on time for 2 straight years and then be 10 minutes late one day & that will cost you 1 pt. Same thing with attendance, perfect attendance for years, miss one day, it will cost you 1 pt. Our fork lifts have impact sensors on them. If you hit something it will sound the horn off. You need to get a supervisor to reset it & that will cost you 1 pt. The really bad part about this sensor is that if you hit the brakes to hard, it will be set off also. Management just assumes you hit something, no leyway. If the sensor goes off, it will cost you a point. You can go years with out damaging any product and then 1 day while you are taking a pallet out of a rack, that is 20 feet high, 4 or 5 cases fall from the pallet. That will another point. This is just a few ways to lose points on your evaluation. There are MANY other ways & I'm not writing a book.
