Pros

-Up beat and active workplace with a lot of variety in responsibilities. -Can make a lot of great friends with the type of physical work you’ll be doing. -Tons of upward/horizontal mobility, almost everyone in the company is hired from within. -The type of job you can take pride in doing.

Cons

-Management consistently make awful decisions. -Your concerns aren’t ever heard or taken seriously, even concerns brought up by employees of FORTY years within workplace meetings. -Hard work/life balance for people with children due to the hours work is done (this is more about working at airports than hubs or service stations; airport hours are either very late or very early). -You almost certainly WILL need to start as a package/material handler to get jobs that pay more, and it will take years before you are full-time. -The pay compared to UPS is a complete, total, joke and management WILL string you along telling you about raises and by the time October (raise time) comes around you will get an email saying how poorly the company is doing and explaining why they can’t give you a raise even though UPS truck drivers CURRENTLY make double what you make. -Upper management only cares about paying themselves and pilots.

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.
