UPS reviews

Many jobs have poor work-life balance issues especially as you work your way up the career ladder. Our promotion from within policy has a downside of creating somewhat myopic vision on the part of senior leaders, and differing points of view are not always welcomed as much as would be healthy for an organization. As a company we are still struggling with what it means to be apublic company, and that can some times lead to poor decisions, and knee-jerk reactions to the Wall Street analysts, but Scott Davis seems to be the best CEO we've had so far with dealing with the vagaries of the market and the economy.

Long hours expected regularly. Very difficult to balance work with a personal life. Difficult to schedule time off or get off early for personal events. This is a complaint one seems to hear in most departments. And forget about doing just about anything outside of work during December. Every job has "peak" work hours, but 16 hours/day for 6 weeks is especially long. Of course, you wont' have the opportunity to visit relatives this time of year either. Some of this is to be expected, but no effort is really made to mitigate the excess hours either.
