UPS reviews

No options for telecommuting to lessen commute

It is hard to advance at UPS. If you are ambitious, you are probably better served working at a company that is experiencing rapid growth. UPS is very stable, very slow to change, and painfully slow to recognize top-performing employees, if at all. People are treated fairly - too fairly if you are a top performer. 3% cost of living increase in a decent economy is pretty standard. If you go the extra mile all the time, the best you'll see is 4-5%. UPS also likes to advertise its benefits, but look at the fine print. While it offers tuition reimbursement, it is capped at $5,250 a year (if you take a full courseload). UPS no longer does 401k matching for employees under the defined benefits plan (not sure if they do 401k matching for new hires). Every year, the health benefits get more expensive and less comprehensive. That is hardly unique to UPS, but UPS has a reputation for providing excellent health benefits, but if you are not extremely careful about what you let doctors do, you will still get ridiculous bills. The culture is rather stodgy. The company does not get the mindset of young people. There are not a lot of women in powerful positions. This is purely a guess, but I'd say that 90% of the people in the corporate headquarters are white men over 40.
