Pros

Inside sales reps get the best training in the business. The company benefits are second to none. Income potential is good and top earners make good $$$$. Promotions are there for those who want to succeed. Job security. This is a super job for recent grads and younger professionals. You will have top notch training and develop good work ethic.

Cons

Supervisors have supervisors who have supervisors who have supervisors. The overkill in oversight is keeping a good company from being a great company. Each supervisor has his own objectives and it all gets pushed DOWN to the sales rep. It can be suffocating. Way too much busy work demanded of the sales reps. Less time selling. Attendance policy is too subjective. Some ill-prepared employees get promoted to jobs they have no real-world skills for. Reps are subject to "luck" in territory assignments. If you get a strong territory you make money right out of the box. If you get a weak territory the system is designed that you have little or no chance to turnaround the territory until the new year begins.

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...
