Pros

Good active job. not often boring

Cons

Grossly underpaid, Fulltime work is pretty much non existent, they rather higher new part time workers instead of giving you full time hrs to support your family. management makes good money, but all the couriers that make the company work do not get paid their fare share. corporate funded and built ground service from express dollars and now not reinvesting into express with the success of ground(and they are another story). very demanding on there priority service. They will give 20 plus deliveries and expect you to deliver them in an hour and a half. if not you will be disciplined (Sometimes over 50 packages for those stops and your lucky if have a handtruck. They dont equip all of there vehicles with handtrucks. can u believe). no concern for public or worker safety in attempt to make the priority service. Very bad management mentality about make service or else. Its kinda very distubing.

18 years then laid off

Pros

Good people and environment and when Fred Smith was running the show, people loved working there.

Cons

Laid off for no reason and escorted off the property like a criminal after 18 years of devoted service, just because they needed to cut the budget. I remember a conversation I once had with Fred Smith and he told me that as long as I did my job that I would always have a job there. Things have truly changed since then.

Pros

Benefits, though increasing in cost, were overall good. Enjoyed my time with co-workers as I think in the end is what kept me there. I enjoyed working at the airport, it's an environment that you really can't match. Set schedules, typically 5 days a week with the same hours unlike most part time jobs.

Cons

Cost of health coverage had crept up at an accelerated pace. Cost cutting measures that included higher deductibles and/or co-pays affected this. Policies seemed to be written by pencil pushers with zero experience in areas they were changing. Bureaucracy of a large corporation is discouraging and most focus appeared to be on the USPS contract and growth in other markets. I realize this is their money maker, but the care and concern for domestic employees appeared to be declining.
