Pros

Excellent security because of their no layoff policy. Gave me the opportunity to have a job that would give me a pension in my retirement when I had no significant skills or education in a particular field. Great job if you like working unsupervised every minute and like being outdoors in all kinds of weather. The days go by very quickly. They never drag. Most coworkers are great people to work with.

Cons

Unreasonable productivity expectations based on mathematical formulations rather than real life variables. Punitive consequences for injuries. Employees are required to report even the slightest injury, which results in a lower score on your review and a lower raise for that review period. This results in some employees not reporting injuries to protect their raise. Veiled attempts by management to force senior couriers to resign and/or retire so their positions can be filled by lower paid couriers. Too much micromanagement.

Pros

- Insurance benefits are offered to part time employees - Pay is sufficient based on being part time - Management will send some communications regarding big picture matters - There is some leniency regarding calling out of work

Cons

- The requirement to maintain insurance is becoming more difficult - Employees are not paid the same rate simply based on tenor rather than qualifications - Management will rarely, if ever, address direct employee concerns - Leniency for calling out only seems to apply for certain employees - There is no standard of training or written expectations readily available once hired
