UPS – “A great place to get a career started but difficult not to become a disgruntled employee over the long term.”

Pros

The benefit of working at UPS is simply that, the benefits. A great overall package consisting of medical, dental, 401k match and an employee stock purchase plan were the main offerings. The work environment is great for a recent college graduate that can dedicate a good deal of time to their career. Those who can put in the hours are generally given a preference and the opportunity to develop.

Cons

If you're an hourly employee at UPS you can pretty much expect to work a standard 40 hour work week, but if you are a salaried employee watch out, you'll be working the extra hours to complete things the hourly employees couldn't get done. Very difficult to advance in departments outside of the core operations due the number of people competing for the position and the length of time between an available opening.

Advice to Senior Management

Spend a few weeks with your employees that are just behind the front lines and get a feel for what they are doing day to day for you.
