Vantaggi
The workplace is very positive and the supervisors I've had have been really awesome individuals who genuinely care about their people. The stress on safety and taking care of yourself is huge, it's constantly talked about. The opportunity for overtime is readily available, and there's a lot of in-company hiring, so it's relatively easy to move up. Definitely a great job for people who don't mind hard work and are looking to attend college or to move up the ladder. Also has lots of diversity, which is cool.
Svantaggi
Not a lot of full-time positions currently in my facility, so the jobs aren't very sustaining money wise. Pretty much everyone I've worked with is working at ups to supplement their main income. I'm not sure why but there's no shift differential for night workers, which I thought was odd. The company is ultimately corporate, so the bottom line and the saving of money is, of course, very obvious. The immediate supervisors suffer most for it, sometimes running around in a frenzy because upper management thinks the workers should be done within a specific and sometimes unreasonable time frame. But hey, that's just how the machine works. Ultimately, it's a good job with lots of friendly people.
