UPS, The Working Mans Friend!

Package car driver

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation, benefits, outside work, knowing that I am giving the sole responsibility on a daily basis to achieve a certain task and goals. The pay is probably the best in the industry and you can't beat the workplace atmosphere., especially if you have a rural route where you get to see alot of the country. UPS pays for our health and welfare ang generally the coverage is good. It is one of the only jobs I know of where you are giving a set amount of work at 9 am and told to git-r-done and do not have to watch the clock till 5 pm. You run your route and when your finished (sometimes after 9pm) you take it home.

Cons

Long hours, very demanding goals, hard to get days off , or get off early for family events such as childrens programs, graduations, an occasional childs sporting event ect.

UPS is a great place to work if you are motivated and can handle very difficult work for seemingly low pay.

Business Outlook

Pros

It is very easy to get promoted if you are competent. Additionally, the pay is fairly competitive with other corporations. For many, the lack of a need for a college degree for some of the upper level supervisor jobs is a plus.

Cons

The work is probably the hardest in the field. There is little recognition unless you actively push yourself forward. Most people see UPS as a dead end in their professional growth.

UPS - Be What You Want To Be...But Be Willing To Make Sacrifices

Manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportuniteis abound for pursing any career path you want. But you need to be willing to sacrifice work-life balance at times to achieve those goals. Diversity is a way of life at UPS, and there is ample opportunity for everyone regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disabililty, etc. Promotion from within gives everyone an equal opportunity to grow in their career. As our bsuiness expands the opoprtunites to try new career paths and developnew skills exapnds at the same time. This is a company whre you can have many jobs in your lifetime, but all with one employer. A job for life, but as much varierty as you can stand - who could ask for more?

Cons

Many jobs have poor work-life balance issues especially as you work your way up the career ladder. Our promotion from within policy has a downside of creating somewhat myopic vision on the part of senior leaders, and differing points of view are not always welcomed as much as would be healthy for an organization. As a company we are still struggling with what it means to be apublic company, and that can some times lead to poor decisions, and knee-jerk reactions to the Wall Street analysts, but Scott Davis seems to be the best CEO we've had so far with dealing with the vagaries of the market and the economy.
