Pros

The best reason to work for this company is for the excellent benefits.

Cons

The pay is not very good compared to UPS which I have worked at as well. The standard work week for managers is 50-60. If you have a good sr manager then life can be good, likewise I had a very poor sr manager that made life miserable. Our PandD Manager was very good, I respected him a lot, very easy to talk to, and I wish he was the sr manager instead. Ground contractor drivers cry a lot. I was surprised when I found out that most still have to use a map after having been on their route for several years. UPS drivers know their routes in the first 3 months by heart. In fairness to the drivers there were a few contractor owners that were very professional and great to get along with which made my job a lot easier. I was surprised to know that even though drivers get paid by the box and by the stop, they get upset because most of them only want to take out so much per day. They don't treat themselves as a business but rather employees which makes their life harder.

Pros

Work life balance, reasonable salary and good benefits. Depending on where you work your job could be challenging and rewarding too. Never a boring moment.

Cons

Extremely limited opportunities for career advancement and promotions. They hire the best in the world and then let them languish at the same position for years without any hope of a promotion. The promotion policy is vague and undefined...usually depends on who you know and who knows you. Merit is not always the criteria. The company's attitude of trying to please everybody promotes mediocrity and frustrates and demotivates high performers.
