Pros

Experience managing and training teams of 5 to 50 people at once. Good health benefits for me (not my spouse). Every day you are put in charge of millions of dollars of equipment and personnel. A chance to learn how to run an operation efficiently. Lateral movement easily available. Ability to relocate to pretty much anywhere. Company has alot of upward mobility at the moment (2018). Stress leave is available once promoted to Full Time status.

Cons

Toxic atmosphere. The normal attitude is to look out for yourself first and only. I am underpaid for the work and responsibility I hold. My benefits do not extend to spouse, they pay full price. As a part time I work 40+ hours a week 3/4 of the year and 27.5 hours for the other 1/4. Full timers often work 60+ and get subjected to a very stress full, performance driven corporate hierarchy. Full timers are subject to mandatory local relocation and assignment to a completely different department. UPS is hard on your body and will wear you down even in a management position. Safety is too often secondary to performance.

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...
