I have been working at UPS full-time for more than 10 years

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at UPS full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – The pay was ok but that was about it. I remember reading on Yahoo an article about how to know if your workplace was toxic and UPS headquarters matched every single point.

Cons – Its an individual effort, no teamwork at UPS headquarters. There are too many managers and they fight about everything to the point where no decision can ever be made about even the most minor detail. There is no identity in this building, you can literally walk from the parking garage to your desk and not have a clue what company's building you are in. The interior of the building looks like something from the 70's, lots of wood and gold trim with old worn out carpet. Everyone is in fear of their job constantly because it is made clear that everyone is replaceable. Many of the managers don't have a clue of what they are doing because most of them are promoted truck drivers. I would avoid this place at all cost unless you don't have any other options for employment. And whatever you do, don't contract here. I have watched them toss out too many contractors to count most of the time for no obvious reason. The company doesnt support its employees at all when it comes to equipment, most of the staff have old laptops running Windows XP and Office 2003. Even the technology department head is in his 60's and has no clue about modern computing advancements and should have been replaced a decade ago.

Advice to Senior Management – Its time to clear house. Toss all the old managers and get some new ideas in there or you will never stop losing market share to FEDEX.
