Pros

huge company great reputation long history large market share International great managers Integrity and ethics are wlecomed

Cons

no clear career advancement path with regards to timing of promotions I was cleared for a full-time supervisor position but waited a long time and never got that opening; had to leave the company because part-time salary would not support me and my family; took a job in a much smaller company that failed soon thereafter; now there is now way back into UPS unless I go back in as an hourly employee

Pros

For the most part, as long as you are semi-competent, employment is almost guaranteed. It is highly unlikely you will be terminated (unless there is an ethical violation or due to a lack of education/skills they can't keep you in management).

Cons

Every upper management person in virtually every function is cut out of the same mould-- all a group of "yes-men/women". There's very little 'vision' or 'leadership' in this critical group. In many instances, the 'purpose' of a large scale work project is "because {senior mgmt person} wants to see this"--whether it adds any strategic value to the organization or not. If you're accomplishing all your goals/tasks, then the feedback is "good job, keep doing what you're doing"...which leads to zero career movement.
