Pros

PTO, holiday pay plus time and a half for 8 holidays a yr even though certain shifts have to work almost every single one of them. You're never off. Decent health insurance after 1000 hours.

Cons

Full timers work 8 to 9 hours a day or sometimes even longer with only one break. You get a 30 minute lunch and that's it, which means you work almost five straight hours without being able to stop. No company bonuses ever for anything, no incentives. We didn't get any raise when the corporate tax cut was passed even though the company said they would give them in the media. Package handlers that have been there four years and gotten all the raises don't get pay increases for getting promoted to operations manager because the pay is the same if you're getting the late night shift differential for package handlers.

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.
