Pros

Decent health care benefits, but not as good as it was a several years ago. Education, if you are a union employee. A part time union employee can get a Masters, a non-union employee has to be a supervisor or higher to tuition re-imbursement for a Masters.

Cons

Constant consolidation is reducing the number of management positions available. Over the last five years, the salary increases have been around 2%. Promotions are based on how well you kiss up to management. Workload is constantly increasing with no overtime allowed. With all of the consolidation and reduction in staff, the work has to be dumped on someone. Management has a "do as I say and not as I do" attitude. Extreme micro-management, if you are the independent type, your independence will be squashed.

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...
