Pros

Its a job to provide for your family

Cons

At first it seemed like a good job, they lure you in with telling you about all the benefits the company offers and even offer a bonus to seasonal employees. But once hired you find out that it is very difficult to get past the seasonal offer to actually take advantage of these benefits. They also did not want to pay the bonus they offered in their job advertisement. After wrestling with my managers and hr, I finally took the fight to the corporate level to get the bonus they were offering. Yet again another check without my bonus. They also try to screw you on your hours. Example, you are scheduled to start work at 4:30 but they want you to attend a safety meeting at 3:30 that lasts 5 minutes, but you do not get payed for any time you are clocked in before your scheduled start time. So that is an hour every day that you are not getting paid. Along with telling you it is a customer service position working in the warehouse, on my timecard it is listed as unskilled labor. Along with that you get tired of managers screaming at you to hurry up and load the trucks, I have never had a manager use the N word so much in my life.

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...
