Pros

I was a casual package handler and loved it! Casual handler was a no benefits position, but if you stayed around long enough then you could get a Permanent Part-Time position that would include benefits. It was a great part-time job and it even had benefits available for working just 17 hours. It was fast paced, but I worked closely with other employees and developed good relationships with many employees in a short amount of time. I would definetely recommend this job to anyone looking for a supplemental part-time job.

Cons

Due to the nature of the work, all handlers were required to work strict schedules. There is almost no schedule flexability at all, unless you were a Permanent Part-Time and used Personal Time Off. Other than that, I loved everything else about the job!

Pros

Independent contractor status gives you some flexibility. As long as you have a DOT certified driver on the route, can take as many days off as you can afford. As to having a permanent temp at each terminal, with a van, I do not agree with that. I worked a rural terminal, and we always had temp drivers available. Management needs to realize that there is the possiblity of service going down when a temp is on the route, just because people do things differently, and customers interact with different drivers depending on the driver's personality, familiarity, and other factors.

Cons

They need to be more sensitive as to personal issues, family illness, funerals, etc. Had one contractor tell me that he had a major problem getting time off for a funeral. I noticed at my terminal, during the tenure of my last terminal manager, that the P & D coordinator had a lot of spare time on his hands, and was brazen enough to tell all of us contractors that he might be subbing at a local school district to supplement his income, which by the way, was more than what some of us contractors made. That is pure horse hockey. The first terminal manager would send a different P & D contractor out with the temp drivers.

You have respect from your colleagues and your employers. You have very great chances to learn & improve your skills & abilities. You have excellent equipments for work. You are treated with fairness, if you have a good performance, you will get good prizes.

Cons

You do not have competitive salary and compensation, in comparison with some other companies in the same industry. You have too much stressful due to very high business targets.
