Pros

Working for a world-class, industry leading company that accomplishes the impossible on a daily basis. Strong career opportunities once you get to mainstream UPS. Majority of employees are there for the long run.

Cons

Paperwork issues, as with many big companies there are so many reports going on from above you that you are constantly being asked to answer silly questions. In the division I work for, Inside Sales we are sometimes viewed as the red-headed stepchildren to the "real" sales force in the field. Our compensation is somewhat below par for the level of responsibility and there is an unfortunate lack of accountability for results which allows subpar employees to stay around. It is nearly impossible to get fired even when you cannot handle your job. They have recently added channels by which you can move from Inside Sales to mainstream UPS but the opportunities are too few and far between.

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...
