Pros

UPS IT does things right. It pays people well and invests in technology and infrastructure and process. There is generally plenty of time off allowed, except during the holidays. You have a lot of job security no real fear of layoffs.

Cons

Required to come to work in the worst weather conditions and do dangerous airplane loading jobs you aren't used to doing, in the worst conditions - a recipe for disaster if ever there was one. You cannot advance unless you are one of the few, so you have to learn to be underutilized and basically bored in your position. This leads to a lot of people doing the least they can, because they see people with lesser qualifications moving up.

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...
