Pros

The pay is good. The benefits are excellent. You have the benefit of union support and protection in some jobs. While the company does seem to be running itself into the ground, it seems safe to say it will be around for a while yet.

Cons

I have never seen worse employee-management relations in my entire life. Management is very openly anti-union. The CEO is a technology guy and pushes to solve every problem by introducing a new layer of technology that ultimately causes more problems than it solves. The drivers spend 20-30% of their day doing meaningless tasks to appease the industrial engineers, then punished for not being able to get enough work done. My 20 years of hard work for this company has been rewarded by being constantly told that I am a stupid, slow, lazy, untrustworthy, whiner. I would encourage prospective employees to take a deep look into this company. Look much deeper than the pay and benefits and make an informed decision.

Pros

If you're looking for a strong company that is stable and wot be going anywhere soon then ups is for you. Must be able to work third shift for the first few years since day shift is reserved for higher seniority employees. Also, they will pay for your school in part (or full if you go to UofL or JCC and work 3rd shift). How can you beat that? Also, it is a unionized company.

Cons

Night shift, warehouse/outdoor work, must be able to work in any weather, 24/7 365 day operation, lock on vacation from thanksgiving to new years for peak season, training does not prepare you for operation
