Pros

The job is a part time job which makes it great to be a college student or have a second job. You know exactly what you have to do. It is a physical job so you easily get into shape while working there. You can be trained and work more than one area, if you desire. They teach very good safety policies. They have excellent benefits. There is a variety of personality types which makes it fun. It takes a lot to get fired. Which is a pro and con. They have no problem with you calling out so long as you communicate with your supervisor. (except during Peak season) Raise after 90 days and then at 1 year.

Cons

People who shouldn't be working there stay for the benefits. So sometimes you are working with people who don't care about anything there, which makes it frustrating for someone who actually enjoys being there. Some days you only work 2 1/2 hours so your paycheck is often times small. If you are not following safety procedures it is easy to become injured. Sometimes there are too many people and not enough work so you stand around watching other people. Because employees can join the union, lazy, unsafe employees can continue working long after they should have been fired.

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...
