Pros

Good pay, decent 401K plan, fairly stable but who knows in this industry.

Cons

Line Maintenance Supervisors are beat down stuck between Union protected Mechanics and upper management. Mechanics are almost untouchable and they know it. Mechanics have way better benefits than Management and in a lot of cases make way more money if topped out. Great benefits for management have eroded away while Union protected employees still enjoy free medical insurance. Management loses another benefit everytime a new contract is negotiated for mechanics. Long work hours for Supervisors. In non Ops supervisor positions, supervisors are forced to work in the sort operation when weather is bad for no extra money. Bonuses have also eroded or completely disappeared over the years.

Pros

Convenient- I was usually picked up at my house and we completed the deliveries for all of the surrounding houses and businesses.

Cons

Very spotty hours/Unreliable- I was told it would be 25-40 hours per week in the busiest time of the year. You could also earn $150/week if you were available for all of the shifts. I worked 25 hours the first week, then it was less than that every week after. I would only be able to work for 4-6 hours per shift, and they determined that the day of. I had to call in every day and have an open availability to be able to make that $150 bonus. I wasn’t getting enough hours so I’d pick up other work, and then, of course, they would need me that day so I never got the extra $150. Extremely difficult to contact higher-ups- I had never received my compensation for the five hours of training, in addition to a week towards the end of Dec. I tried contacting HR, but you have to just send an email. They would never get back to me. When I’d call, I’d be transferred 3-4 times, on hold, and end up talking to someone who said they’d have to call back. They never did. Finally, in probably June or July, they sent me a letter saying that they noticed I hadn’t cashed a check for $49 and that I needed to fill out a form and they would send the check to me. I filled it out and wrote a letter and additional email reminding them about the training hours. They said it could take 3-4 weeks to actually get it. I just got my $49 check yesterday, and still haven’t gotten the training check. Any calls or emails regarding the situation have been left unanswered. Incredibly frustrating
