Pros

Biggest pro was the flexibility with work schedule. I was almost always able to take care of personal matters around my work schedule. There are an abundant number of extremely talented IT professionals based in the Louisville Offices. Recent (2016) emphasis has been placed on employee training. As an IT organization, that's about where the Pros stop.

Cons

Extremely top heavy management structure with long-time employees holding key positions. There may be many opportunities for advancement in the near future, as a large number of managers are approaching retirement age. But for now, there is an attitude that seems more interested in self preservation, and less interested in providing innovative solutions. IT at UPS is very mature, but in my opinion it has gone way beyond the point of where processes and procedures are a good thing. The processes are usually more cumbersome than the actual work that needs to be performed.

Pros

The pay is excellent .health care is 100 % paid with 100 %coverage...with exception to eye and dental which is about 70%..coverage...pension is outstanding..full package with wages and benefits is worth 130,000 yearly..without a college education I am grateful for the standard of living UPS HAS AFFORDED ME AND MY FAMILY!...and with 27 years of service I now get 6 weeks vacation with 8 sick days..and 9 paid holidays...we work hard like many people in the work force but we are well compensated!.

Cons

The only con is while your children are young you give up a lot of family time..I never got to watch my kids play sports and missed a lot of their growing years...the job can be hard on your home life but if you can make it through those years you and your family will enjoy the financial freedom that UPS provides...and now I look forward to a prosperous retirement!...so hang in there all you young drivers...
