Pros

Low hiring requirements, full training provided

Cons

Zero right to co-determination, no efforts to create a comfortable work atmosphere, more than outdated work software, no unions, mediocre pay, little to no payrise after longer time of employment, the employees literally have to buy everything themselves in the office, even coffee, the only thing that's free is water, only Christmas benefit is a box of chocolates and a handwritten card from the manager

Pros

Not many. Helps put other companies into perspective after your experience with this company.

Cons

UPS corporate headquarters has a old culture. Both controlling and without much direction. Hands-on training is lacking. Institutional knowledge does not flow from ones with experience to the newer employees. I would highly recommend staying away from UPS and its broken culture.

Pros

Good pay, decent 401K plan, fairly stable but who knows in this industry.

Cons

Line Maintenance Supervisors are beat down stuck between Union protected Mechanics and upper management. Mechanics are almost untouchable and they know it. Mechanics have way better benefits than Management and in a lot of cases make way more money if topped out. Great benefits for management have eroded away while Union protected employees still enjoy free medical insurance. Management loses another benefit everytime a new contract is negotiated for mechanics. Long work hours for Supervisors. In non Ops supervisor positions, supervisors are forced to work in the sort operation when weather is bad for no extra money. Bonuses have also eroded or completely disappeared over the years.
