Vantaggi
$11 an hour starting is a very attractive offer. The management always treats you with respect. Your schedule is very dependable and doesn't change on you. You at least know what days you're working (M-F) and can count on getting out of work by a certain time. (For example, no later than 5pm for day sort)
Svantaggi
It is very easy to hurt yourself while performing job duties, but that is just the nature of the job. Working part time seasonly makes it mandatory for you to come in Sunday through Friday in the whole of December for the most part. That wouldn't be a problem if they worked you for more than an average of two hours a shift. The most hours you can get in one shift is four if you're lucky, but it's both a rare occurrence and you wouldn't want to work four or more hours a day anyway due to how exhausting the work is. The management is indeed very courteous and respectful, but it's very easy to see past the charade. I have done a poor job by manager's standards, yet everyday regardless of how I do, I am always told something along of the lines of "good job" or "thank you for the help". You are just another number whenever working in warehouses where you handle packages by hand. The courtesy and forced respect on their part is essentially a slap in the face, especially when they just spent an entire shift telling you the exact opposite. It'd be more respectful if they just didn't say anything. There is about a week of training, but on the job safety isn't as in depth as other places I've worked, such as UPS Ground in Harrisburg.
