Pros

Stable and profitable company, very nice HQ campus in Atlanta/Sandy Springs, deep heritage, overall friendly employees.

Cons

Lack of sophistication & too many rules -- This place is run like a military operation and by former warehouse employees which creates an interesting (not favorable) corporate office dynamic. HR sends a "dress code" packet prior to interviews, which is distributed an additional 3 times during onboarding, and covers items such as type of men's shoewear, 2 in min on women's sleeveless tops, number of toes a woman can show on her "opened to me shoe," etc. Limited number of items allowed on cubicles, and regularly staff counts items on each cube. That's just the start. Turnover and homogenous culture- they've struggled to retain MBAs and marketing talent mainly due to culture. Most people, mid and Sr. Level, started with UPS when in college and moved up the ranks. Most are above 50 and Caucasian. Diversity (ERGs) are taking off, slowly. Some call its culture "cult like" as meetings are opened with a reading from a UPS History book, followed by discussion. A nice tradition of tolerable. No risk taking here. Ever. UPS likes to wait for the competiton to do it first.

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...
