      UPS is a great place to work

      Pros

      UPS provides employees a great deal of flexibility in using their time off for personal or family reasons. If one wishes to take on more responsibility to gain experience there is plenty of opportunity. Everyone is given opportunity to speak towards improvement.

      Cons

      Cutting edge software is quite limited and the ability to get onto a project of one's choosing is somewhat random. Career planning is left mostly to the individual as management changes are frequent (meaning turnover reduces chance of hearing positive things from the same person).

      Too military for me.

      Pros

      Paid part of my way through college with their tuition reimbursement program (management only)

      Cons

      Too much company inbreeding. The only company positions available to outside hires is working as a package handler. Teamsters and Management are always at each others' throats.

      It is, what it is..

      Pros

      After a few years working there through school (with tuition assistance), you will gain enough seniority that your hourly pay is acceptable & the benefits are wonderful (my doctor & dentist have both commented as much). As it is a part time position, this does not prevent you from staying employed at UPS while having a 2nd or 3rd position elsewhere.

      Cons

      The starting pay is less than to be desired, less than a living wage (8.50/hr). There are regular raises however. Opportunities for advancement as a PT Package Handler are nearly none... As UPS is Union, all advancement is based on seniority. 8 or 9 years may be enough in order to go from a 3-hour job to a 6-hour job, but the minimum for getting a full-time (8-hour) position is 13 years! It is similarly difficult to advance within the management tracks from a PT supervisor, however, the opportunities and skills acquired over even a brief tenure as a PT supervisor are invaluable when seeking full-time employment elsewhere.
