Pros

Pay is decent for the type of work management does. Benefits are pretty good as far as medical insurance and retirement savings. Great tuition reimbursement program.

Cons

Odd work hours; shifts revolve around sort start times which are typically extremely early in the morning or later in the evening. Dirty warehouses are often what you're going to walk into. Not so much that there will be trash every where but more so the natural dust and grime build up that comes with having your office inside a warehouse. Progression in management is slow and often requires you knowing someone already established in the company. Everyone seems to maintain an extremely disgruntled attitude, very rarely did I ever know someone who genuinely enjoyed coming into work for hourly, union, and management workers.

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...
