Pros

They paid overtime- the key to make money They pay health insurance for you and your family (after 6 month though)

Cons

1st The late start - As the driver you have to wait for the next day air shuttle and it comes most of the time late. It makes your day really long. 2nd Really physically hard jobs - most of the people won't last a year. They stock your truck so much that you wanna quit just seeking it. 3rd They pay preloaders so little for one the most physically strenuous jobs up there which results in really high turnover of workers. Which leads to a lot of miss-loads and more headaches and job for you as the driver. 4th They don't start to pay enough the first year drivers. But that's their strategy to make the money - make the young drivers work as much as possible and lay off the senior drivers for a day or two cause they make a big money 5th - 1 week paid vacation after 1 year hard work is not enough ---every other better company starts at least with 10 days of PTO

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...
