Pros

Good benefits. Decent pay. Opportunity to move up locally in non-management occupations, but management generally would require moving. More benefits are available than most know about (which leads to a downside). Tuition reimbursement, fair treatment policies, regular scheduled work days, review of management, no-layoff philosophy (philosophy, NOT policy).

Cons

Over the years the focus on employees has dwindled to, "We offer good benefits and comparable pay--on a stable job." When it used to be bonuses, management respecting employees, complimenting efforts, and truly following PSP (People Service Profit). Information is not provided, it's expected of employees to educate themselves on what the company offers or how to utilize those benefits. Poor communication is the beginning of all problems. When individuals fall into the grips of "I'm only here for a paycheck," then employees simply do what is necessary to get bye versus what is necessary to get ahead. Many employees reach their peak position, whether a team leader, ramp agent, courier, or swing, management leaves little reason for them to maintain a solid effort.

Pros

Great flexibility with scheduling, which makes it incredibly easy to balance with school or other external commitments. The team environment is supportive, and the management generally respects your availability

Cons

The physical workload can be quite demanding and tiring, especially during peak seasons. Depending on the shift, communication across different teams can sometimes feel a bit unorganized.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
