Pros

1. Company has a good reputation 2. Good work areas with large cubicles 3. Competitive salaries and benefits 4. Cost of living is low in Memphis 5. They advocate work life balance but it really depends on your manager 6. Discounts on many things all over the city and elsewhere

Cons

1. Too much upper management. Too many layers of management 2. Not many career paths. They don't move people around very much. You can get stuck in the same department for years and years. 3. Lower and middle managers are on average not very competent leaders 4. Politics politics politics 5. Very bureaucratic. You have to go through so much red tape to get anything done. There is a convoluted process for everything. 6. The various operating companies and regions function as different companies sometimes with their own rules and processes 7. Those awful acronyms that don't make any sense 8. Performance reviews that are very subjective and the manager's word is final

Pros

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Cons

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
