Pros

At least still get paid. Reporting manager is nice person.

Cons

- Company failed to provide a safe and healthy work environment as delivery drivers are facing day to day tough job due to poor planning and management - I have seen them had to take risk just to get parcel deliver on time even though the delay was caused by upstream planning. Emphasize "Customer First" by putting first line employees at risk is dumb. - Singapore office environment is very old school - high wall cubicle and all senior leaders sit inside their room at different level. Open communication is apparently discouraged by the design of office. Oh, only that level has a coffee machine, others can enjoy expired coffee powder in the pantry. - Want to be the best employer and logistics industry leader, but HR only promise to give benefit that meet the market average...

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...
