Very true.
Her main complaint was that they had quotas they had to meet and sometimes it was impossible to do so. She worked in a fulfillment center and had to pick a certain number of items every hour/day. Sometimes it was easy to do, but often there would be odd shaped items, items that weren't close together etc. She said even if you sprinted between items (which they didn't want you to do) it was impossible to get it done then they would bitch at you and increase your quota for the next hour. She also said they offered bonuses but in order to get them you had to achieve things that were unachievable or if they offered one that was attainable, they would often make up an excuse not to pay it.
