Pros

Mindless work; you don't really have to think much or deal with customers

Cons

Packager handlers are rewarded for unsatisfactory work; weak links are expected to be subsidized by everyone else; some employees handle far far less volume than others (I average 700-900 packages per day, others handle 80-10); Managers worry too much about efficiency without knowing how much more difficult they make the job; instead of listening to employee concerns, manager rattle off platitudes about "positive attitudes", and "slow and steady wins the race", without actually having the experience of handling such back-breaking work; they say they hire and promote from within, yet as an employee, you are still required to go through bureaucratic online application process rather than being directly promoted; TERRIBLE electronic equipment; favoritism and inability to properly discipline employees; everyone speaking Spanish

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.
