Pros

Get paid to exercise. Benefits are great after working for 9months. Some of the part time managers are helpful.

Cons

Expectations are too high 200+ packages loaded per hour. Packages flow inconsistent, it can be slower and then flood you all of a sudden. Boxes can be heavy and large and when you get larger/heavier boxes it's almost impossible to keep up. They throw you in the fire and give you 4 trucks to load when you start. Not only do they give you 4 trucks to load, they give you the hardest ones and it seems like they are trying to break you, not break you in slowly. The work is back breaking, and you get one 10 min break, which it takes five minutes to get to a break area... It's insane what they expect. Most of the managers are rude and only talk down to you and yell at you to work faster. The pay is garbage for the amount of work expected.

Pros

Union stewards are the most helpful people of all time. Take care of yourself.

Cons

Some supervisors will pressure you to work faster so they can be done at a certain time. inconsistent break times. computer will not clock you in until the sort time so don't clock in early.

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...
