Pros

current vacation entitlement policy standards appear to be fair to most employees fairly good work, family life balance at present first level management generally are competent, fair, and interested in working with their employees to improve the work environment

Cons

absolute adherence to antiquated personel polcies that never appear to benefit the employee promotion to upper management appears to be based on politics, including years of service and "who you know" rather than merit dramatic increase in workloads with little change to already limited staffing resources little difference between salary merit increases whether you are a top performer or a mediocre performer salary and benefits are mediocre upper management seldom appears to listen to employee suggestions coming from the ranks no tuition refund program at present

Less FTE and more offshore vendors. Less time to collaborate Headquartered and majority of roles centralized in Memphis Less FTE means sometimes you are expected to wear multiple hats aside of your primary responsibilities Some processes are very lengthy(Example- Release, code reviews etc) Immigration delays- If you are a foreign national

Pros

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Cons

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
