Pros

Starting pay is very reasonable for a part-time employee. Its a great job for college students because it will pay for your college education from your first day at work. There is a very good chance of advancement in the company as they like to promote from within. Ups offers many good benifits to all its employees. They offer vacation, 401k, free health dental and vision after working there a year. They also offer a pension plan after working there only a year.

Cons

Sometimes drivers are treated bad but the get paid very well to compensate for it. Some people dont like union

Pros

Solid, efficient company, ok compensation, chance for advancement if you can put up with the hard work and huge amount of hours required to get any recognition. Promotions are hard to come by but they do try to promote based on performance, so hard work does pay off. Since the focus is on performance, there is less bias (in my opinion) against gender, race or other common areas of work bias.

Cons

very demanding, lots of hours, not tolerant of mistakes. union employees are given better treatment than non-union. The Teamsters fight (and win) to keep employees jobs that deserve to get fired; ie, thieves, assaults, drugs, poor attendance, poor performance, poor attitudes. Management employees lose their jobs for poor results and when they try to address the problem employees they dont get backed.
