Pros

Days go by quick, fast paced engaging work, good pay for the job you are doing. There are always opportunities to do more. However, that might not always be at your benefit.

Cons

Management is disconnected from it's employees. Poor managing skills from individuals who have not been couriers themselves. Management is more concerned with statistics that reflect positively on them while creating very large unmanageable workloads for warehouse staff, and couriers. This results in a very toxic work environment with a majority of the employees unhappy at their current positions. -poor route management (managers have little to no route planning knowledge) -continually bending rules of employment (taking advantage of hardworking employees for overtime, expecting employees to complete challenging routes with zero training.) Also very poor on road training for the new couriers. - pushing employees for unrealistic goals (140 deliveries in 9 hours on new or challenging routes) -unorganized dispatch ( redundant pickup notices for multiple drivers, calling wrong drivers.) -poorly maintained equipment. (trucks are maintained at the minimum quality to stay on the road.)

Pros

None. Literally nothing. It’s a joke of a company.

Cons

Zero training, accountability, support, diversity, planning, or management. You watch HR spew word vomit that they’re available to support you, but if you speak up to them or any management your job is threatened. HR, upper management, and other departments are allowed to bully people with no reprimand. There is constant retaliation against anyone that has a difference in opinion, even though HR will tell you “That’s not tolerated and shouldn’t happen!” Petty, cliquey, drama filled work place. Teams take turns choosing a target and tearing them down until they leave. The technology and project management of every single department, let alone company wide roll outs are ATROCIOUS! There’s no support from any department and they will badger and bully you to get what they want. Any extra work that they can’t place gets dropped to the lowest man on the totem pole with no incentive or pay increase and if they speak up, they are told “money doesn’t create happiness” They treat people like slave labor. You will be contacted outside of working hours with no compensation, they can’t plan travel with ample time and notice, but will expect you to drop your whole life to accommodate them. Onboarding and offboarding are a joke! There isn’t a single ounce of training, there’s a bunch of outdated links and videos, and you’re thrown in while basically being told “sink or swim” God forbid you ask for training, you’ll be forced to prove a business case for it. HR, upper management, departments that feel they’re superior are allowed to speak to employees like they’re the scum of the earth and bully them on a regular basis to get what they want, how they want it. It is full of people who talk out both sides of their mouths. They preach about wellness, DEI, women in logistics….. but the second any of that is used to support your position you will be torn apart, targeted and pushed out. There’s no room for growth, there’s no support for growth, this is a dead end company. Save yourself the headache and distress, work elsewhere. The picture they paint is a fallacy.
