Pros

Excellent work life balance Generally nice people through out the organization Comprehensive Benifits - 401k match, dental,health, tuition reimbursement

Cons

- For those who are career oriented and trying to quickly move up this is not the place to work. There are limited opportunities for advancement. - It is nearly impossible to develop new ideas into programs, products or services from the bottom up. Everything requires large project teams and sign offs from multiple departments with conflicting political interests. The only way anything moves forward is if SVP or CEO forces it through. - Pay is well below industry average for all salaried positions

Pros

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Cons

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
