Pros

Working for the best in the business. Even in tough times, they are trying to take care of their people first.

Cons

Micromanaging is taking manager's focus away from the "real" problems. We are spending tons of hours chasing down "what happened yesterday" instead of planning for tomorrow.

Pros

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Cons

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
