Pros

Security, market leader, great brand, it is great if you want a job where you only have to do what you are told and not think for yourself. Cameraderie

Cons

Tremendous pressure to meet numbers. Big Brother is watching you at all times. Micromanagement. Cultural acceptance of mediocrity. Corporate humility is great as a community citizen, but not as a public company. Do not manage investor relations well at all. Gong public was the worst thing that ever happened to UPS. Management used to be very focused on five years down the line but now focused on current stock price.

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...
