Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

I worked at UPS full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Reasonably well paid for the industry, but you will have to put in the hours to earn it.

Cons – Hypocritical Managers. Company policies are not followed, all in the name of profit. Bullying is rife, from the highest managers downwards. Dishonesty is the best way forwards. If you go by the book, don't expect to progress

Advice to Senior Management – You have a policy book, use it. You have a code of business conduct, use it. Be honest.

I have been working at UPS

Pros – job security, christmas chocolate box! competetive salary based on similar jobs in the local area. holiday allowance is good, in own department always willing to be flexible. fairly relaxed working day within own department. recognition scheme works well in general even though it is just a token gesture. open door policy works but getting results is a different matter

Cons – lack of promotion based on merit and actual ability, management team selected on basis of who you know and not what you know, cliquey atmosphere. not interested in helping employees reach their potential. working environment could be better, cramped office space, bad building maintainence. inability to apply its own policies.

Advice to Senior Management – listen to employees more, sometimes they have good ideas, we are educated people who can think you know! look at the yearly ERI, this should tell you what is happening!
