Pros

Good work/life balance, lots of time off earned, relatively easy job, 8-5 M-F and never overtime, paid vacation, pays weekly

Cons

Lots, if you get a bad sales territory you won’t get promoted, they have preferential treatment, it’s luck of the draw what team you end up on, they promote within but it’s based on numbers(which you’re selling a service, not a tangible product, you can’t force people to ship more), all territories have the same goals but aren’t the same(imagine Florida has lots of exports and Amish country has the same expectations). If you get put in a promotion patch you’ll get out, if not you’ll spend years here. They don’t promote on experience but on numbers(which aren’t controllable). Then if put on an action plan you can’t apply for promotions for 6 months. Also, plan to relocate to get a promotion. Basically look for another job unless you really love UPS. Oh the moral sucks.

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...
