Pros

Insurance benefits are available, and 401k is provided. They are always hiring. Overtime is available during peak season (Nov.-Jan.), and during off season if you would like to work 6 days/week.

Cons

According to upper management, 99% of the management team (leads & supervisors) are promoted from the "ranks," so all training is "on the job" and you have to put in your time- regardless of your skill set. In the building as a package handler, the work is comparable to factory work. On the ramp, people are constantly concerned with being fired or demoted for making a mistake, and it is rather dangerous.

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.
