Negotiation was a no-go
. Hourly offer was final, and apparently given directly from management.
I still have a little time before I have to give an answer, so I will see if anything pops up within the next week.
Thanks for the support guys/gals.
UPS is not the normal choice of employment of many Technology workers ... no stock options and no chance of IPO and getting rich quick.
Compensation is average and the only way to increase is to accept a higher responsibility position.
The selection process for those positions tend to less technical and more towards social skills.
UPS does offer a chance to work in a strong training environment in a strong work ethics environment.
And what UPS offers than many technology companies can't is a stable and long-term working environment.
UPS spends over a billion a year on technology and is an integral and critical part of the corporation.
Note: The same applies to FedEx and any other transportation corporation.
Good luck with your decision and life.
