      UPS - A Place To Work!

      Administration
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      The Big Old Brown, an equal mix of good and bad

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Structure, determination, strong corporate culture, vision. Extremely educational on every imaginable level, a training that is stellar outside UPS. If you've been at this company, it's a breeze taking on pretty much any other challenge. Especially so if given an excellent mentor/boss (which I happened to have).

      Cons

      Extremely political and bureaucratic. How about two-three months for ordering a lamp? Non-flexible. No room for real responsibility, there's always someone else who approves and decides which disconnects people from their jobs. Furthermore, people are not viewed as people, it's all about statistics and ROI. Poor pay compared to other companies for similar jobs. Reasons for advancement are unclear. It's pretty much all about knowing the right people and networking within the company. Management (including myself) are treated like royalties (how about planing a new lawn for a visit to one of the centers?) and are able to freely act as dictators creating their own little realm within the Big Brown.
