Pros

The company is solid. Senior Management knows its place in the global economy. Promotions to senior positions are made exclusively from within. People stay for the long term. You are still considered a new comer until you hit the 15 year mark. It is not uncommon for people to spend their entire career at UPS. Decisions are always made by a group of people and not individuals. This leads to the promotion of many ideas and different points of view. From a technology point of view (which is my field), we are cutting edge. The drive of our technical people and CIO positions the company to be successful in the future.

Cons

Decisions are made by groups of people. Sometimes you just need someone to say "We're moving in this direction. End of discussion." Office politics sometimes trumps what's good for the company.

Pros

The pay is excellent .health care is 100 % paid with 100 %coverage...with exception to eye and dental which is about 70%..coverage...pension is outstanding..full package with wages and benefits is worth 130,000 yearly..without a college education I am grateful for the standard of living UPS HAS AFFORDED ME AND MY FAMILY!...and with 27 years of service I now get 6 weeks vacation with 8 sick days..and 9 paid holidays...we work hard like many people in the work force but we are well compensated!.

Cons

The only con is while your children are young you give up a lot of family time..I never got to watch my kids play sports and missed a lot of their growing years...the job can be hard on your home life but if you can make it through those years you and your family will enjoy the financial freedom that UPS provides...and now I look forward to a prosperous retirement!...so hang in there all you young drivers...
