I have been reading this board on and off and I can help but realize that ups'ers have one thing in common. They really love (some) their job and do work hard (who doesnt in ups?). But the problem is when the company play this game that reduces its employee to basically a 'number'. In MY OPINION I have never seen a company hire you and try to fire you the very same day (well not quite the same day 
)..
That being said I find that there is a lot of PROS than cons when you work here.
Pros: Good pay, good benefits, good retirement. Over the years ups (through my hard work) has compensated me well. Its a very stable company and with the economy now this can be helpful. The vacation is another thing, where else can you work that you have the same amount of vacation? most company offer 1 week. The job is really not that hard to be honest, and at this point in time, for me its more mental than physical. The job provides (through my hard work) me and my family good comfortable life.
Cons: there isnt really much I can give but like I said, the job is not that hard but they make it really hard.
and another thing is MANAGEMENT! what else can I say, everything here has been covered when it comes to that subject. I think that our founder is looking at us today and really sad as to what it has become. It is really not as much as the 'management' but how they go about doing things.
But all of that being said, at the end of the day we will all still show up to work and do our job. I am expected to perform at a high standard and I dont deserve the treatment I am getting of just being a 'number'
What if (a BIG what if) there is a job out there that has the same pros, will I take it and leave this one? ABSOLUTELY YES! and if our founder is alive and ask what he feels about that response I am sure his heart will be broken. If you ask the people managing now what they feel about that the answer will probably be "who gives a rats ass"
