Pros

job security, christmas chocolate box! competetive salary based on similar jobs in the local area. holiday allowance is good, in own department always willing to be flexible. fairly relaxed working day within own department. recognition scheme works well in general even though it is just a token gesture. open door policy works but getting results is a different matter

Cons

lack of promotion based on merit and actual ability, management team selected on basis of who you know and not what you know, cliquey atmosphere. not interested in helping employees reach their potential. working environment could be better, cramped office space, bad building maintainence. inability to apply its own policies.

Pros

Benefits package, good enviorment, not a mundane position. You don't feel depressed coming into work

Cons

Wage increase isn't always fair. Annually one gets reviewed for a 3 or 5 percent raise. I was told that no one ever gets 5 percent raise. Managment doesnt always reconize the good, just reconizes when something is bad

Pros

Job security, strong brand, community image.

Cons

Operators run the company, who have no knowledge of sales/growth. Very old school policies and personnel that work at UPS from 18 yrs until retirement. Usually old, bitter, and just looking forward to retirement. Operators, who drove UPS vehicles for a number of years tell the sales people what to do and how to do it. Then expect to then receive reports as to status of business growth. Sales people are on the bottom of the food chain and have a very steep, slippy slope to climb up the company ranks. Do not trust that future advancement will be available in the near future even for someone with exceptional sales results and MBA.
