Pros

Decent benefits and they stick true to their word First class logistics company with rigorous execution Very honest and incorruptible

Cons

Hardcore military run company where everything is done to achieve the numbers. There is no time or room for creative thinking, or even consider whether the numbers still have a relationship with reality. Very inflexible to employees unless you're close to the top brass and willing to relocate. Expect no cooperation to find a normal work/life balance in management positions. Overtime is the rule, I did 50-60 hours per week standard.

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...
