Pros

Dedicated partners in the trenches with you. Great friendship and a sense of community with the business and the employees.

Cons

Too many too many.... Hours, requests, projects, directions, department requests, initiatives and real work to be able to manage... Far more work to do then time if you do things correct... if you cut corners and work 40 hours a week... someone will get hurt...

Pros

Company that will not go bankrupt.

Cons

Excessive hours for what you are paid, 60-70 hr weeks are not uncommon. Lack of 401K match. No pension plan for new management. Poor stock awards for management. On call, and called, 24 hrs a day. Upper management over paid compared to frontline management. In an effort to demonstrate diversity, many unqualified minorities are being promoted only because they are minorities. Most unfair promotion process issues are due to this situation.

Pros

Ok pay given the responsibility, ok benefits, don't have to work a lot of hours, on-site gym and cafeteria. People are pleasant.

Cons

Few promotion opportunities for Supervisors, Managers, or Directors - terrible upward mobility. There is a huge glut of Managers and Directors that have been around forever --- making it challenging to move up unless someone dies. Culture is old-school. While hours are not long, you better be at your desk between 8am-5pm. Count on a max 2%-3% raise every year, even if you were an awesome performer. Career development process is almost entirely useless. If you are career motivated, UPS is not the place for you. If you're looking for an easy 8-5 job and little responsibility given the pay, UPS is the place for you.
