Pros

Will hire ANYONE, whether or not they are capable of doing the basics of the job. Nearly impossible to get fired for poor performance or not working at all. So if you lack work ethic you can make bank.

Cons

Promotes management based on "likeability" rather than qualifications, competence, or good work ethic. Treats the most capable and competent managers poorly if they aren't social butterflies but will treat incompetent and lazy managers like kings if they are outgoing suck-ups. I have seen it happen for years and it makes me sick. For admin, some of the most demanding positions in the buildings, with the most responsibility, training, and knowledge, we get paid less than package handlers... who can get pulled in off the street, without any training, and load a trailer, I was a package handler before, I know.

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.
