Pros

The schedule is VERY flexible. If you have to run an errand or leave early for an appointment its fine. This is a place where management actually cares about its employees. Recently with the economy going through a rough patch it would have been very easy to layoff people, right before Christmas no less. Instead, upper management took the biggest salary cuts and reduced our salaries by 5% and no one lost their job. I eliminated my personal trainer (a luxury item) to make up the difference in pay. No big deal whatsoever. I have the ability to work from home if necessary. This is a very laid back place to work where if you are talented and get your work done on time you will be successful. People who are self-motivated and hard-working will definitely love this company. You will be rewarded for your hard work. I would say about 90% of management is promoted from within the organization.

Cons

This is not a technology company so any projects you work on are driven by a business need and not a technology need. You will not invent the next "gizmo" here. This is more a place where you take the "gizmos" other people create and implement them in a way that makes sense to the company's business needs. If you are a technophile who has to be involved in the latest and greatest cutting edge projects stay in Silicon Valley.

Pros

High pay for the job.

Cons

Poor management. In 8 years only one good manager. The rest had very condescending or contentious attitude towards their employees. Management programs to let couriers move up are a joke. They changed the programs names and details every 18 months. Management interviews were on a who knows who basis not based on experience, or attendance to these management trainee programs. Frequently the least competent but more connected couriers were put into management positions and then protected by senior management when they proved to be imcompetent.
