Pros

They pay pretty well. At times you can get time off if you really need it. If you dont like to ever get out of your desk, and are not good at making your own decisions UPS is the place for you.

Cons

Extremely long hours. You have to spend the entire christmas season working, including saturdays. Very high stress, seems like more than a normal amount of people have heart problems. High divorce rate (b/c of long hours) . Although it does pay well, when you break it down to an hourly rate its not that good. Your work is never correct. All managment is good at is making reports look the way they want them.

Pros

This company has tremendous respect for individuals who are hard-working. Employees are treated with respect and upper management are fairly competent within their positions. Job security was not as much of a concern when I worked there as other companies were going through a series of layoffs during the economic downfall.

Cons

Career advancement is very slow to progress with positions taking months to interview for. However, feedback from upper management makes it seem that patience is key as they are in comfortable positions now even though it took a long time to get there. Salary is on the low end of the scale for comparable positions elsewhere. Educational assistance is minimal for employees seeking to obtain advanced degrees.

Pros

UPS offers great college money to help you get through college and while you can work at the appopriate times you need and not work too much because they have minimal hours which is not a great for starting out but the money can get better by advancing thorugh part time management positions or even up to package car drivers.

Cons

the work is hard and the pay is not anything to be excited about but it does go up and really picks up after you are no longer enrolled in the earn and learn for the first 4 years
