Pros

Well-run business. Good benefits and pay. Great short term work for those moving on to a career elsewhere, or long-term work for those capable of advancing to management.

Cons

Most positions are suitable for younger people. The line jobs are physical work, and workers are expected to perform like machines, which takes a toll on your body over the long-term. If you work there long-term and don't advance to management, your performance will decline with age, but you will be pressured to maintain time standards. So long term, best plan to move to a career elsewhere, unless you can advance to management or can successfully keep defending yourself from management pressure about time standards.

Pros

The pay is excellent .health care is 100 % paid with 100 %coverage...with exception to eye and dental which is about 70%..coverage...pension is outstanding..full package with wages and benefits is worth 130,000 yearly..without a college education I am grateful for the standard of living UPS HAS AFFORDED ME AND MY FAMILY!...and with 27 years of service I now get 6 weeks vacation with 8 sick days..and 9 paid holidays...we work hard like many people in the work force but we are well compensated!.

Cons

The only con is while your children are young you give up a lot of family time..I never got to watch my kids play sports and missed a lot of their growing years...the job can be hard on your home life but if you can make it through those years you and your family will enjoy the financial freedom that UPS provides...and now I look forward to a prosperous retirement!...so hang in there all you young drivers...
