Pros

Great compensation, Plenty of hours, Good management, peaceful and fast paced environment. Everyone worked together no matter how tired or frustrated, over time.

Cons

You must stay on your feet for extended hours, sometimes it is hard to find a manager or supervisor to get your breaks, there can be people you work with that are very uncooperative.

Pros

Good pay and benefits for someone to live comfortably if their rent is close to nothing.

Cons

I can't see someone supporting a family with this kind of pay working only part time. Gotta go through the Union to get full time as well

Pros

Treated me like a family and it was my family for 10 years until I resigned. I worked in various roles over the years from customer service to operations and finally my last position was sales. The work/life balance was very good, the pay was competitive and the management was very nice and good. The company always took care of it's employees and provided well training, I was lucky enough to work with DHL Express in Dubai UAE and in Canada and I do miss DHL very much. All the best.

Cons

Wish they had a bigger presence in the US so I can join again but who knows maybe some day :)
