Pros

The pay is ok and the benefits are good Some of the people are decent people just (understandably) frustrated with some of the things they have to deal with

Cons

I can go on forever, upper management is horrible. Refusing to provide water for its employees unless it's above 90 degrees (but they order food for themselves everyday). That's on top of deliberately working with a small workforce. So on top of not having as much people as it would ideally take to get the job done, the few we do have are forced to tolerate garbage. I know it's probably not like this everywhere, but in Newark NJ, it sure is. Unless you're willing to be someone's lapdog, avoid getting into management. Understand that until you become a manager, you are not allowed an opinion, no one is interested in any of your concerns, no one gives a crap how good of a person you are or how hard you try. All they want to do is get as much as they can out of you and run you into the ground. To say they take advantage of their people would be an understatement. If you can, avoid this company. If you're undecided wether or not you wanna stay with the company, I'm telling you right now to leave. If you're young, go back to school. Don't waste your time on this company.

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...
