Pros

UPS has room for advancement for someone willing to work very hard. Promotions are generally fair. Recognition is pretty decent but varies by manager.

Cons

Long hard hours during holiday season with no time off. May take some time for promotional opportunities depending on the economy. Must be willing to relocate to climb the corporate ladder.

Pros

benefits cant be beat... hope obama doesn't screw that up : ) The more seniority you get the better the job is.

Cons

there are a lot of whiners that seem to think the world owes them a favor and too many people take advantage of the union being there to back them up. The only people who really use the union are the ones who hate work and think they are being abused when they are not. (and no, I am not a supervisor, and yes I am a member of the union)

Pros

Great benefits! Stock contribution (note it does take five years to earn 2009 contribution--you get 20% each year). They promote within the company. They attempt to not lay off as much as possible--job security.

Cons

It is militaristic environment. The culture is a bore. Very operational driven. Many meetings that do not get a lot accomplished. Involved in many philanthropies, which require donations (strongly urged and noted). The longer you have been with company more opportunities to move up. Long hours are required. And low pay in comparison to industry standard.
