Pros

Like my title says, working for UPS I.S. is great if you're fresh out of college and you want to add experience to your resume. They have a leadership program that you can take advantage of, although you need to be chosen to do so and it's really if you're thinking of staying with the company. If you're looking for slow paced with little probability of being fired, then this is the place for you, it's as close to working for the government as you can get while still in private industry.

Cons

Top heavy middle management, making it difficult for career advancement. Lots of people in it to draw a pay check and wait for their retirement rather than do anything innovative. Slow paced and unexciting. Too much corporate structure of a bygone era and office politics.

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...
