I would pay special attention to overtime pay/policies. Some of these jobs can work you into the ground and don't always compensate well for it. Talk to current employees if you can about overtime/work-life balance

No heat or AC in the work area, waiting a year for vacation, waiting more than 90 days for 401K, crap insurance that you have to pay for, anytime you hear that they give you free life insurance policies.

Look closely into safety precautions and protections. So many warehouses these days are requiring their employees to do very unsafe labor and are not adequately protecting them. I would make that a top priority!
