Pros

Job stability. An extremely stable company that you do not have to worry about being laid off. It is especially great in a down economy. Friendly people. The people I have met in this company so far has all been friendly to deal with. Flexible schedule (at least for IT positions). I have been able to take the time off whenever I needed it. Many available jobs to choose from (depends on your position too). UPS is a large company and it has a great variety of positions if you have the skills to do it.

Cons

Compensation below market (you pay for stability) and not based on performance. Difficult to advance (at least for IT positions in certain groups). Company culture/traditions maybe too ancient for the younger generation.

Pros

The ONLY reason to work for UPS is the salary. The money and benefits are great, but it comes at a cost. You're treated like you do not matter, and you don't. You're told to lie to the customers. The customers of UPS are nothing but numbers, they matter as much as a UPS employee does (not at all).

Cons

Managers are promoted from within, causing a "carrot in front of the donkey" syndrome. The philosophy of UPS is to GET THE PACKAGES OUT OF THE DOOR no matter what the cost to UPS or the customer. The customer comes last.
