Pros

There aren't any good reasons anymore.

Cons

DPWN needs to recognize that they don't know how to manage an Express business. This Company has been plunged down the toilet ever since it was purchased by DPWN in 2003. The USMB, VP's and most recent hachett CEO have destroyed what was once a great place to work. They're created a complex group of operating units that fight among themselves. All Sr. Management cares about is saving their own butts. I have never seen a group of people put such a positive 'spin' on all of their bad decisions so they can sell themselves into a global position or a transfer. Some of these executives have received and are continuing to receive very generous severance and bonus packages. All while the 'employee's' are suffering by having to work excessive hours and then are lossing their jobs. It's an amazing list of bad decisions with zero accountablity. The Company's major error was not having control of their own business, between the independent contractors, unions, multiple airline agreements (why do we need 2?), etc. all at cost plus they don't have a chance of controlling their own expenses. They're spending billions on restructuring. ...right, more like setting the Company up to sell to a competitor or a complete shut down.

Pros

Great compensation, benefits, and hours. Get to know many clients and businesses on route. Lots of exercise. Lots of alone time.

Cons

For some, the alone time can be very lonely. You are in a van or truck for many hours. Podcasts, radio, hands-free: get to love it. Sometimes logistics can be unpredictable. Delays, traffic, on-call pickups. You have to be very flexible and adaptive with fairly quick critical thinking skills to excel at this job.

Pros

Get entry level sales position. The company has great benefits..

Cons

You will be calling 80-100 times per day for months until you get promoted but it’s a fairly easy job. Can just be boring.
