Pros

healthcare benefits tuition reimbursement for education up to $25K paid weekly multitude of shifts so that you could work a full time shift somewhere else career advancement to become driver or upper management stock options for management

Cons

too many work environments is unhealthy for professional development the supervisors are young thus havent participated in adequate developmental supervisory skill trainings and leadership trainings you work 3-4 hours daily, more during peak season just to be harassed and talk down upon there are no identifiable breaks within the shift (i.e bathroom breaks/15min break, etc) They preach safety and hydration and stretching but if you're seated for overexertion you will get scowled and yelled at They ask you if you can lift 75lbs but the expectation is CAN YOU LIFT 75 LBS 300x. You will get written up if you're late as of 1sec past official start time You wont get any benefits or PTO until 1 year of work Vacation time is only 1 week and thats only selected upon "availability" that any other week is already taken my coworkers who started before you Supervisors belittle you

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...
