Pros

I started with UPS as an intern out of college. After finishing my internship I was offered a full time position and I took it. Both teams I’ve worked with made me feel like I was a part of the family from day 1 I have nothing but good stuff to say about my old team when I was still an intern, they were all great and I wish them al the best! My current boss is awesome and makes me feel like I’m his younger brother My direct supervisor guided me through the roles of my position and enhanced my skill set to perform ubiquitous and complex tasks with ease, if I ever have a question he’s always available to assist Everyone is really friendly and will always try to help you succeed in your position My first day at my full position my coworker brought bagels in for everyone as a welcome and the next day the VP of finance of the business unit brought doughnuts in for everybody too, that was awesome of them Senior management really care about their employees and they are very good at promoting from within

Cons

I really can’t think of anything bad to say At the moment I’m just writing anything to have the 20 word minimum in order to submit

I REGET BECOMING A PT SUPERVISOR AT UPS. YOU WILL TOO!!!!!

Pros

ALL Carrots. Higher pay in the beginning. Turns into less pay over all. If your female and have a college degree work at UPS that's the #1 priority for them more women making $33.40 an hour + best benefits package ever. Or in high management positions.

Cons

Female get promoted on the basis of their sex, not merit. Stuck in a part time supervisor position. No advancement. Unfair policies and politics in the management ranks. Yu would have to experience it to believe it. No recourse for getting hammed over. No grievance policy, rock the boat as management and your fired. The fact its not unique for a PT supervisor to be in this stuck position. Several of my colleagues feel the same. I regret going into UPS part time management I would have had better chances of success if I had stayed in the union ranks.
