Pros

work life balance is great unless you are in high performing team like I was. They had asked my team to work 50 hour work weeks. Developer freedom is given if you want to learn new technology. Management supports personal growth. I really liked my team and management and would go back in a heartbeat if the salary was right. Amazing new campus with lots of food options near by. Can retire if you are looking for stability

Cons

Salary is too low. They do not put technology first, and it makes sense because their business is delivering packages. slow promotions. Young people can easily make it to intermediate and senior developer, but after that it really really slows down. Some folks have been stuck at intermediate or senior for many years (in most cases the developer chose to be there).

Pros

THE DRIVERS! they were so nice. Not afraid to give advice, I really liked the drivers, the only ones I had contact with. All were good at their job, etc

Cons

Cold. So this may be only part of the country, but omg, I would have to get paid $100 an hour to work basically your whole shift in 30 or below weather. Before calling me wuss, ask if your winter experience is segments of running to warm place to warm place or hrs in the cold.

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...
