Advice to Senior Management

Speaking from the IT perspective. If you are in IT, look for an IT company. This place is cheap, does not provide tools and expects way to much from IT people. You just don't know what your job is.

Pros

opportunities, stability, co-workers, benefits, easy intra-company transfers

Cons

no meaningful recognition, title vs role doesn't match, average compensation,

Pros

internal job transfers, customer focused

Cons

The company lost its charm during the recession. Reduced compensation, most of the employee benefits were removed, suspended 401k, laid off employees. All these happened during recession and then immediately hired lot of contractors. HR and senior management has to do a better job of keeping employees happy. If not it will be just another company and employee attrition may increase as the economy gets back to track.

Pros

Generally independent work, driving a company delivery truck and meeting customers through out the day. There are clear standards and expectations of efficiency especially in the number of deliveries per hour, time between departing the warehouse and one's first delivery, etc.

Cons

A new courier is limited to only part-time hours. It takes a few years, and only when senior couriers retire or move up, for full-time slots to become available. In addition, even with a part-time schedule, sometimes it is difficult to get a second occupation because the length of a work day depends on several factors: personal delivery times, when a shipment of packages from the airport arrives, logistical issues at HQ, etc.

Advice to Senior Management

Create a more fair system of promotion centered on results and integrity instead of favoritism.
