Pros

Even the part time pay at UPS is phenomenal, almost enough to live on as a single adult with no dependents. The benefits gained after a year are also great, including full health insurance and $10 co-pays. Being on the inside will also get you a leg up into a full time position as a driver if you want it.

Cons

If the managers suck (and even one terrible manager can do this) it's not worth the stress and physical danger you will be in. You may end up risking your life, and this job isn't worth that. At lower seniority levels you may also be laid off at any time, making the great pay that we get almost irrelevant. If you can stick it out and have a good management team, it gets good, but only because of seniority pay increases and more job security. There are no opportunities to advance from this position except laterally into a driver position and very rarely a part time supervisor (and you lose your benefits in the latter case).

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...
