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

A lot of great people to work with passion and dedication.

Cons

A lot of instability. Many waves of layoff of people with seniority as well as recently hired. As a result; I would think twice about leaving a steady job and move for this company. I saw too many people with just a few months in being let go because of a change in direction.

Pros

Your voice will be heard. Strong focus on employee development and consistently building for the future. Strong Executive Leadership team with extremely knowledgeable and proficient divisional President.

Cons

401k program needs an overhaul. Otherwise the benefits package is solid.
