Pros
There are many opportunities to learn new job skills and gain understanding about business flow. Excellent place to get working experience for any of the jobs offered. Regular pay raises according to performance. Employment is relatively stable as long as you perform well as the company has not ever performed layoffs. In high turnover locations, delivery drivers can expect opportunities for career advancement. Ability to interact with higher levels of management easily.
Cons
Very strict vacation policy. There is a total number of employees across the company that may have vacation on any given day. This could result in a Driver in North Dakota being denied for vacation if a package pusher in Illinois requested the last available vacation slot. Additionally, vacation of less than 1 full week can not be requested until within 2 weeks of the requested date making planning shorter vacations difficult. Vacation days offered to employees are fairly minimal and none are available to the employee until after the end of their first year of employment. Employees receive costly hits on their reviews for any time clock punch more than 1 minute late. All office employees are on the same pay scale regardless of job, unless they are management. This results in Sales, Customer Service, IT, Payroll, and Data Entry all paid the same hourly wage regardless of the difficulty or level of competence and skill required to perform the job . This pay scale also spans to different terminal locations. This is good if you are in a location where the cost of living is low but less desirable where the cost of living is high. No radios or AC in delivery vehicles. They often leak when it rains and the heaters may under-perform in the winter.
