Business Outlook
Pros
Very stable, very almost tolerant business culture. New comers will be given ample time to get up to speed on the incredible number of proprietary systems. Peers in general are very company loyal. In my portfolio the median length of service to ups is 15-20 years.
Cons
UPS is an old enterprise, it comes with a lot of cultural baggage. The IT organization also puts up with in some areas, tremendous amounts of micromanagement, large leadership gaps in mid management and an employee age mix that can occasionally be toxic. Career planning in UPS is also chaotic at best as its people software is best suited for packages, but is forced rather unsuccessfully on the IT organization.
