Pros

Benefits, union representation, brotherhood, good pay (when paid correctly), communicative management.

Cons

Stonewalling and gatekeeping to muddle through. Average of 4 years expected to work in the warehouse until even considered for a driver position. Seemed to be some hazing.

Pros

Supportive team environment with opportunities to work on challenging projects. Strong focus on collaboration, continuous learning, career growth, and employee development. Good benefits, competitive compensation, and exposure to modern technologies and cross-functional initiatives.

Cons

Cons: Workload can be demanding during peak periods, and decision-making may sometimes take longer due to the size of the organization and multiple approval layers.

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...
