Svantaggi
Long Hours & Physically Demanding Work Standard weeks were extended, and the labor intensity (especially in harsh weather conditions) required endurance and discipline. High Turnover Retention issues meant teams were frequently understaffed, leading to increased responsibilities and constant onboarding. Raises Only After Promotion There were no annual raises; pay progression depended entirely on securing a promotion—which could take time. Warehouse Temperature Extremes Cold winters and hot summers made yard and warehouse work physically strenuous. Multiple Hats, Often at Once Because teams were lean, it was common to manage tasks well outside your job title, leading to overwhelming workloads during peak seasons.
