Pros

Great benefits and a reputable company that delivers a superior product and that isn't going away.

Cons

Poor pay. Incompetent management. Ever changing "plans" to help you get ahead. Unrealistic demands. Lack of integrity regarding internal reporting. Unreasonable rules that work well in outside sales headquartered in the UPS centers but totally irrelevant to the Inside Sales environment. Questionable promotions. Failure to prepare promoted individuals for their new jobs. No opportunity to allow new employees to consult with the people they are replacing. Threatening employees jobs if they fail to meet multiple unrealistic expectations. Having employees sign documents stating that they recognize all their shortcomings and that if they fail to meet expectations they will be terminated. Time wasted in meetings and consultations with management that take the ISR away from their job. Worst job I've ever had.

Pros

Solid, efficient company, ok compensation, chance for advancement if you can put up with the hard work and huge amount of hours required to get any recognition. Promotions are hard to come by but they do try to promote based on performance, so hard work does pay off. Since the focus is on performance, there is less bias (in my opinion) against gender, race or other common areas of work bias.

Cons

very demanding, lots of hours, not tolerant of mistakes. union employees are given better treatment than non-union. The Teamsters fight (and win) to keep employees jobs that deserve to get fired; ie, thieves, assaults, drugs, poor attendance, poor performance, poor attitudes. Management employees lose their jobs for poor results and when they try to address the problem employees they dont get backed.
