Pros

The Middletown Gateway is a nice place if you want to work on the ramp. Good pay, tuition reimbursement up to $5250 a year, experienced supervisors, etc. while more major benefits kick in after a year of employment like paid holiday, PTO and if you call off about 3 hours before your scheduled start time, you can still take the day off. Although make sure calling ahead of time or you’ll get a letter and 3 letter is automatic fired. Short shifts ranging from 2-3 hours for the ramp people unless one of the aircraft is grounded due to maintenance. And you get daily overtime after 5 hours which is not bad at all but it’s rarely that anyone from the ramp would cross the 5 hours mark. You might also get promoted to a supervisor or up if there’s any internal hiring available and go above and beyond your responsibilities.

Cons

People tend to be judgmental and racist who work inside the building especially employees who have been working with the company for more than 5 years and to add the people employed for a long time don’t like anyone coming in 1-2 hours before time even after notified by a supervisor. although UPS is equal opportunity the seniors working on the floor tend to be a lot racist and try to boss around.

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...
