Pros

I am a courier and I enjoy working outdoors and interacting with all the customers.

Cons

The health insurance is horrible now. There is lots of favoritism even though management swears there is not. Best practices are close to impossible to follow because the workloads are constantly increasing with less time do it in. Been with the company 10 years and forget ever getting to top pay or having enough seniority to get close to a vacation day in the summer off. We get horrible bonuses and no holiday parties. No matter how hard you work and how loyal you are the customers it is never enough. The company used to be about customer service but these days its about saving money for the company and under paying employees that actually work hard. As far as hurting yourself on the job forget it. You only have 90 days to keep your position which isn't long to fully recover from any surgery without injuring yourself again down the road. And workmans comp has also been getting cheaper as far as giving you the quality care that one is needed.

Pros

Easy to apply, fast to get hired (no interview process) and the pay

Cons

Very rude management, lack of care for safety, no drinkable water (all filters are in the red and have been since I started) They have cameras everywhere and are constantly watching you but say you can’t bring your own phone in because “people steal them”? There is junk everywhere. Lots of trash everywhere (employees drinks and food). They want you to work and eat on the line instead of giving you breaks to do so. They get upset when you use the bathroom or fill your water bottle even if you’ve been working for 3 hours straight but if you clock in at an area 2 min walking distance from your work area you’re “stealing time” I’ve noticed people of color get treated differently. The HR department has some of the most prejudice employees so there’s no real equality if you have conflict with someone. I’ve never been, but it feels like a prison to go in and out of the building and lastly you don’t work a consistent schedule. You leave when they say you can.
