Pros

Work life balance, reasonable salary and good benefits. Depending on where you work your job could be challenging and rewarding too. Never a boring moment.

Cons

Extremely limited opportunities for career advancement and promotions. They hire the best in the world and then let them languish at the same position for years without any hope of a promotion. The promotion policy is vague and undefined...usually depends on who you know and who knows you. Merit is not always the criteria. The company's attitude of trying to please everybody promotes mediocrity and frustrates and demotivates high performers.

Pros

Good benefits. Decent pay. Opportunity to move up locally in non-management occupations, but management generally would require moving. More benefits are available than most know about (which leads to a downside). Tuition reimbursement, fair treatment policies, regular scheduled work days, review of management, no-layoff philosophy (philosophy, NOT policy).

Cons

Over the years the focus on employees has dwindled to, "We offer good benefits and comparable pay--on a stable job." When it used to be bonuses, management respecting employees, complimenting efforts, and truly following PSP (People Service Profit). Information is not provided, it's expected of employees to educate themselves on what the company offers or how to utilize those benefits. Poor communication is the beginning of all problems. When individuals fall into the grips of "I'm only here for a paycheck," then employees simply do what is necessary to get bye versus what is necessary to get ahead. Many employees reach their peak position, whether a team leader, ramp agent, courier, or swing, management leaves little reason for them to maintain a solid effort.
