Pros

I am a courier and I enjoy working outdoors and interacting with all the customers.

Cons

The health insurance is horrible now. There is lots of favoritism even though management swears there is not. Best practices are close to impossible to follow because the workloads are constantly increasing with less time do it in. Been with the company 10 years and forget ever getting to top pay or having enough seniority to get close to a vacation day in the summer off. We get horrible bonuses and no holiday parties. No matter how hard you work and how loyal you are the customers it is never enough. The company used to be about customer service but these days its about saving money for the company and under paying employees that actually work hard. As far as hurting yourself on the job forget it. You only have 90 days to keep your position which isn't long to fully recover from any surgery without injuring yourself again down the road. And workmans comp has also been getting cheaper as far as giving you the quality care that one is needed.

Pros

One of the benefits they list to get you in the door is TOP RATE pay*. The top rate is currently unknown but general consensus is 20 years to top rate pay. If you love standing around making up stories in your own head for two hours while spreading rumors amongst your unabashed co-workers about other co-workers you’ve interacted 2 minutes in the year you’ve worked together then this job is for you! Minimal logic involved.

Cons

Fellow employees will unionize to get you out of your route. Employees will make up stories to pit employees against one another. Fellow employees will threaten other employees for being friendly to one another. The management is willing bend over backwards to give you a bad review if leaving for another job. Co-workers are extremely bored and in most cases workload differs dramatically depending on where you are on the sort.
