Pros

Excellent pay benefits. Single copy manager is awesome….he’s the smartest trick in the book! Pay is on 2 separate paychecks tho. Tons of people waiting their turn to get routes, sometimes months! Hop on board & hurry! Couriers are flocking like hummingbirds to the distribution center!!

No cons ever at this place!!!
