Pros

Promotion from within and solid benefits for working part time or full time. Any one can be promoted as high as Director or above if they have the right attitude and don't mind moving around the country. A degree is still not required to be promoted to Operations Manager, that opens the door far and wide to most anyone.

Cons

Bad senior managers can't move to escape being possibly terminated so they are stuck at current stations to make life terrible for operators and hourly employees. Sometimes Directors are brought in just to fill a quota and are not qualified to lead a district. The district fails because of quotas and not having stringent guidelines for promotion to Director level.

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.
