Pros

The workplace is very positive and the supervisors I've had have been really awesome individuals who genuinely care about their people. The stress on safety and taking care of yourself is huge, it's constantly talked about. The opportunity for overtime is readily available, and there's a lot of in-company hiring, so it's relatively easy to move up. Definitely a great job for people who don't mind hard work and are looking to attend college or to move up the ladder. Also has lots of diversity, which is cool.

Cons

Not a lot of full-time positions currently in my facility, so the jobs aren't very sustaining money wise. Pretty much everyone I've worked with is working at ups to supplement their main income. I'm not sure why but there's no shift differential for night workers, which I thought was odd. The company is ultimately corporate, so the bottom line and the saving of money is, of course, very obvious. The immediate supervisors suffer most for it, sometimes running around in a frenzy because upper management thinks the workers should be done within a specific and sometimes unreasonable time frame. But hey, that's just how the machine works. Ultimately, it's a good job with lots of friendly people.

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...
