Good job security and environment, Salary not competitive enough

Associate

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This company has tremendous respect for individuals who are hard-working. Employees are treated with respect and upper management are fairly competent within their positions. Job security was not as much of a concern when I worked there as other companies were going through a series of layoffs during the economic downfall.

Cons

Career advancement is very slow to progress with positions taking months to interview for. However, feedback from upper management makes it seem that patience is key as they are in comfortable positions now even though it took a long time to get there. Salary is on the low end of the scale for comparable positions elsewhere. Educational assistance is minimal for employees seeking to obtain advanced degrees.

Pros

UPS offers great college money to help you get through college and while you can work at the appopriate times you need and not work too much because they have minimal hours which is not a great for starting out but the money can get better by advancing thorugh part time management positions or even up to package car drivers.

Cons

the work is hard and the pay is not anything to be excited about but it does go up and really picks up after you are no longer enrolled in the earn and learn for the first 4 years

Pros

job security, christmas chocolate box! competetive salary based on similar jobs in the local area. holiday allowance is good, in own department always willing to be flexible. fairly relaxed working day within own department. recognition scheme works well in general even though it is just a token gesture. open door policy works but getting results is a different matter

Cons

lack of promotion based on merit and actual ability, management team selected on basis of who you know and not what you know, cliquey atmosphere. not interested in helping employees reach their potential. working environment could be better, cramped office space, bad building maintainence. inability to apply its own policies.
