Pros

It was a job out of High School.

Cons

They send an overwhelming amount of packages down the conveyor belt. You are not given enough time to properly scan and put away the packages in the delivery vehicle. You are forced to toss the packages into a giant pile in the back of the truck and then put the away the packages when the conveyor belt gets jammed or when they or doing a trailer change. The reality is nothing like the training videos.

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.
