Pros

Haven't received the benifits yet, but from what I hear they are great. The pay is good for how many hours I work. The earn and learn program is great because I keep what I make and not have to deplete my checking account for tuition.

Cons

It is very physical work. You will go home sore and more exhausted than you have been in your life. It gets insanely hot in the summer, and I work in the sort isle... For the ones in the trailers I feel absolute sympathy for them. The demands are insane but if you can survive you will be happy that there is still time in the day for you to enjoy yourself. The pay isn't great weekly but you must keep in mind that you only work about 18 hours a week. So, excellent for a college student, other situations, not sure.

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...
