Business outlook
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.
