Pros
Opportuniteis abound for pursing any career path you want. But you need to be willing to sacrifice work-life balance at times to achieve those goals. Diversity is a way of life at UPS, and there is ample opportunity for everyone regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, disabililty, etc. Promotion from within gives everyone an equal opportunity to grow in their career. As our bsuiness expands the opoprtunites to try new career paths and developnew skills exapnds at the same time. This is a company whre you can have many jobs in your lifetime, but all with one employer. A job for life, but as much varierty as you can stand - who could ask for more?
Cons
Many jobs have poor work-life balance issues especially as you work your way up the career ladder. Our promotion from within policy has a downside of creating somewhat myopic vision on the part of senior leaders, and differing points of view are not always welcomed as much as would be healthy for an organization. As a company we are still struggling with what it means to be apublic company, and that can some times lead to poor decisions, and knee-jerk reactions to the Wall Street analysts, but Scott Davis seems to be the best CEO we've had so far with dealing with the vagaries of the market and the economy.
