Pros

For college students it is a great place to work. Union employees get 3000 dollars in tuition reimbursment each year. If you decide to make a jump into management you can get 4000 dollars in tuition reimbursment. PT supervisors make between 13-15 per hour while union employees start out between 8-10 per hour. Great chance for advancement into higher paying jobs as long as you are willing to work at the low end for a couple of years.

Cons

Some shifts require crazy hours to be worked, for example 4am-10am is the most important shift operations worked wise. Horrible relationship between management and union, they do not work well together and can create a stressful environment at times.

Pros

If you are looking to work for a large company that treats their contractors well, UPS is the place. Their managers are good at bringing in contractors and working with them professionally. There is an aire of professionalism that at times can be too thick, but on average the senior managers are good at being personable. I would recommend UPS to a friend because of the way they treat their employees, and the relationships that I have established during my time there.

Cons

It can be a bit silent in the office. There isn't a lot of interactions when you are in the office.
