Pros

Little to no supervision on route You determine how quickly your route gets done. Not stuck in a building or one place for 8 to 10 hrs a day. Able to meet a diverse group of people Learn more about the city and general area knowledge. Can stay in shape from physical fast paced work load No watching the clock makes days fly by.

Cons

Pay doesn't match work load and physical demands. Unreal expectations more than not. No benefits No work home life balance No paid overtime, holidays, or sick time off. Very hard to get any time off No set hours, your not done until the last package is delivered. (I have worked until 11pm especially during peak season) You will never be able to experience a good Christmas with your family. Expected to work 6 days a week. Contractors do not care about their driver's or their Managers.

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.
