      UPS - Don't work for them- the Union Sucks.....

      Pros

      To provide a little extra income. The income is very minimal, though, and the Union takes alot of it- in exchange for underrepresentation. The union is simply the Mafia- skimming money from the person doing all of the hard work and making the unions/reps richer.

      Cons

      You are litterally overworked and underpaid. The pace is too fast for most individuals. Turnover is 50%, as they tell you when you are hired. The work is dangerous and the equipment is outdated and not kept up. The lighting is poor. The climate control is absent. The working conditions are horrible- I don't know how the Union employees put up with it- did you ever notice that UPS employees never strike- I think that UPS pays off the Union to avoid strikes.

      Pros

      Challenging work environment, days and hours fly by, everyday is unique. Autonomy for management decisions not a lot of red tape to get daily tasks done, health benefits are excellent, Company has a good reputation for work experience in the industry, 100+ year legacy,

      Cons

      very long hours 50+per week, oncall 7/24, high demands on management, limited promotion oportunities, lack of recognition. compensation not linked to hours worked, performance or level of responsibility, employees often earn more than the supervisor/manager, stock retirement plan not worth what it was in the 1990's, upper management uses fear and intimidation to get results. Limited vacation time for new employees.

      Pros

      The United Parcel Service, UPS, is a great place to start a career. They have jobs galore and you can select a position based on what you enjoy doing--such as telecommunications, sorting packages, delivery or computer programming. It could be tough to get in, since tens of thousands apply every year. But benefits include a great health plan, stock purchasing options and more. Be prepared to work in a no-nonsense environment where a structured attitude is a requirement.

      Cons

      UPS has a reputation for running a tight ship where goofing around and playing jokes simply aren't tolerated. UPS has somewhat of a reputation for firing people that can't perform one hundred percent at all times.
