Pros

Great first job! Ok pay and conditions good hours and willing to work with your schedule. people do advance there. Someone started at the bottom in 1998 with me and is now 2013 operations manager at one of the largest hubs in U.S.

Cons

I worked there is 1999 (must have been before time clocks were invented) was terminated for falsifying company records. let me explain! We would hand write start, break, lunch, and end times on time sheets daily. There was no clock above or within sight of time sheets. I was let go because someone said i was 9 minutes late and i didn't round up to the next 15 minutes. So there I was in violation of company policy.

Pros

Local teams are great to work with

Cons

Corporate level has a ton of miscommunication if any, no room to grow unless you want to travel, watched others be forced into positions or let go, grade you on aspects you cannot control no matter how many excuses they give you that you can.
