Pros

Pay is decent, you can start to receive benefits after 6 months. Good exercise. The people you work with every day can be very pleasant.

Cons

They extremely overwork their employees and expect far too much. Often leading to injuries or employees taking risks in order to do what is expected. Management does very little during the morning load. No matter how good your performance you are constantly reminded that the smallest slip up can lead to your termination. You get approximately 3 and a half hours to load 4 full sized UPS trucks with packages coming in a steady unrelenting stream. Very stressful.

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...
