Pros

It's a job you can leave at work when you go home. It's easy to learn, anyone can be hired as a package handler with no experience. You will make a decent wage for the type of work it is.

Cons

I heard horror stories about people not being able to get worker's compensation when they were injured on the job.

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.
