      I have been working at UPS full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      I started with UPS as an intern out of college. After finishing my internship I was offered a full time position and I took it. Both teams I’ve worked with made me feel like I was a part of the family from day 1

      I have nothing but good stuff to say about my old team when I was still an intern, they were all great and I wish them al the best!

      My current boss is awesome and makes me feel like I’m his younger brother

      My direct supervisor guided me through the roles of my position and enhanced my skill set to perform ubiquitous and complex tasks with ease, if I ever have a question he’s always available to assist

      Everyone is really friendly and will always try to help you succeed in your position

      My first day at my full position my coworker brought bagels in for everyone as a welcome and the next day the VP of finance of the business unit brought doughnuts in for everybody too, that was awesome of them

      Senior management really care about their employees and they are very good at promoting from within

      Cons

      I really can’t think of anything bad to say

      At the moment I’m just writing anything to have the 20 word minimum in order to submit

      Advice to Management

      I’m not sure if this has happened before or not, I have not completed my full first year at UPS yet

      I would like to see a technology research and development competition among teams of co-workers in order to promote innovation within the company

      Each member of team must be working in a different position. E.g. one person in finance, one person in database development, one person in plant engineering etc...

      This competition would probably be best implemented after peak season so corporate employees have a better understanding how the UPS hubs and service centers function and operate

      I have been working at UPS (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      The pay is excellent .health care is 100 % paid with 100 %coverage...with exception to eye and dental which is about 70%..coverage...pension is outstanding..full package with wages and benefits is worth 130,000 yearly..without a college education I am grateful for the standard of living UPS HAS AFFORDED ME AND MY FAMILY!...and with 27 years of service I now get 6 weeks vacation with 8 sick days..and 9 paid holidays...we work hard like many people in the work force but we are well compensated!.

      Cons

      The only con is while your children are young you give up a lot of family time..I never got to watch my kids play sports and missed a lot of their growing years...the job can be hard on your home life but if you can make it through those years you and your family will enjoy the financial freedom that UPS provides...and now I look forward to a prosperous retirement!...so hang in there all you young drivers...

      Advice to Management

      Ditch Orion ...95 % if your drivers are loyal and are out there to save time and miles !!! Orion puts ridiculous restrictions on them!!! especially in remote areas...and to upper management I would recommend you compensate your mid to lower management with the same excellent pay and benefits you give us drivers..when they see us drivers with better benefits it makes bitter management..everyone should be able to say they are proud and well compensated to work for UPS...it's what has kept UPS a cut above the competition quality employees for quality pay...
