Advice to Senior Management

It seems to be okay. nothing more nothing less. I would say it's very similar to any other company's leadership.

Pros

Benefits
Salary
Paid Time Off
Co-Workers
Great management experience

Cons

Long Hours
Tough to Advance
Working Conditions
Tought to take time off

Pros

Tution Reimbersment is one of the best reasons to work here. That and the beneifts are top knotch. If you are in school and looking for a place to work this is the place for you. As long as you don't mind some manuel labor.

Cons

No room for advancement into full-time management. You have to jump through burning hoops of fire to even be considered.

Advice to Senior Management

More recognition programs, I know this means you have to spend more (company) money but the morale in your building will be much better increasing productivity.

Pros

Great benefits and lots of overtime during the holiday rush.

Cons

You start at the bottom before (driver helper or preloader) being a driver and that could be years.
Low pay

Advice to Senior Management

I understand the "promote from within" approach, but people with degrees are a great asset as well.

Pros

UPS is stable employment & the team is fun & always full of laughs. I would recommend most anyone to work at UPS.

Cons

Once you make it to management it's difficult to advance. They work you more than you are paid for & not a lot of compensations & bonuses to make up for it.

Pros

Challenging work which expands knowledge. Great resume builder for Industrial Engineers.

Cons

Compared to other companies I have worked in, this is more stable.

Pros

Financial reimbursement for school, only for the extremely motivated as work schedule is extremely unnatural.
Safe place to work, and builds in compensation as time is spent...for the simpler man in all of us.

Cons

Not a very elite group of people, though it's extremely production oriented and proffessional in workmanship, not in communication. Being Union people can be crass and unusually open.

Advice to Senior Management

Let your employees know you care, that is especially important. Support your cerc and enrichment committees. Work on supporting senior management on task making long hours take their toll on anyone.

Pros

Ups offers great benefits, a flexible work schedule, and management that tries to allow you to balance your professional and personal life.

Cons

Entry level, UPS offers a very low wage for the amount of work you must do. As a supervisor they constantly want you to observe and look for negative behavior to the point that you become focused on the negative not the positive.

Advice to Senior Management

Sometimes you cannot always observe unsafe behavior. In the daily observations that supervisors are required to turn in, allow for no unsafe behavior to be recorded.

Pros

beneifits, vacations, people, hours, responsibility

Cons

unknowledgeable management, need mgr, just put a body there, dont matter if they are mgmt material

Advice to Senior Management

gain knowledge, respect is earned, surround yourself with intelligent people & they will propell you in your success. Publicly down grading people is a not only a lack of character but also a lack of self esteem also a sign of ignorance.

Pros

Not micro- managed as much as other warehouse jobs....

Cons

heavy loads, long mid day shifts... no flexibility...
