      Pros

      Challenging work environment, days and hours fly by, everyday is unique. Autonomy for management decisions not a lot of red tape to get daily tasks done, health benefits are excellent, Company has a good reputation for work experience in the industry, 100+ year legacy,

      Cons

      very long hours 50+per week, oncall 7/24, high demands on management, limited promotion oportunities, lack of recognition. compensation not linked to hours worked, performance or level of responsibility, employees often earn more than the supervisor/manager, stock retirement plan not worth what it was in the 1990's, upper management uses fear and intimidation to get results. Limited vacation time for new employees.

      Pros

      The United Parcel Service, UPS, is a great place to start a career. They have jobs galore and you can select a position based on what you enjoy doing--such as telecommunications, sorting packages, delivery or computer programming. It could be tough to get in, since tens of thousands apply every year. But benefits include a great health plan, stock purchasing options and more. Be prepared to work in a no-nonsense environment where a structured attitude is a requirement.

      Cons

      UPS has a reputation for running a tight ship where goofing around and playing jokes simply aren't tolerated. UPS has somewhat of a reputation for firing people that can't perform one hundred percent at all times.

      Should have stayed private since the strong culture is not very conducive with the public scrutiny.

      Pros

      Stable, Conservative, Good Benefits. Challenging, demanding environment. Very strong culture, with good camaraderie among rank and file.

      Cons

      Very bureaucratic, hierarchical and political. Entrenched upper management with poor people skills. Some what rigid in that they are very focused on tasks and 'just do it' mentality.
