Pros

The people are great. Management is really flexible with time off and schedule changes. You get lots of little perks, like discounted copies, and sometimes even old equipment. It's a great job if you are looking to get through college.

Cons

It's the only place I've ever worked where customers can demand when they will get their project done. You can't go to Jiffy Lube and tell them you want your car worked on, and it's gonna be done in 20 minutes, yet people will say I need 5,000 copies in a half hour. You have to do your best to comply or management will get really upset. People also expect great technological advancements, but they don't even know how to run a fax machine? The customers can be the worst part of the job. You'll also have to work many nights and weekends when you are first starting out.

Pros

Good work life balance, hours are flexible, team members are pretty nice overall, benefits are good, company is stable and job security is good

Cons

Way too many things to remember, they say “you don't have to remember everything, just know where you can figure it out” and thats all fine and good but there are so many places to go and you have to know where, and despite what they say there are things you cant find anywhere and just have to know, so many systems are just confusing and have no real guidelines to follow, and thats not to mention that every manager has there own places where they do it either the fedex way or their own way, and you never know until you get called out for doing something. Pay is also pretty low and the only way to make more is take on management roles
