Pros

Slight bonuses and pay raises given so I guess that's a good thing especially in today's economy, something is better than nothing.

Cons

Treatment of Mail Service/Messenger workers (especially those with disabilities) needs to improve 'greatly'. Lack of communication within this department is horrendous, and promotions needs to be improved upon as well.
