Pros

Hard working co-workers, nice folks, good, solid work ethics. No bull, WYSIWYG. No attitude from other workers, no attitude from management. A lot of laughs with fabulous, funny, smart people. If you *do* get cut in a downsizing (hint) they treat you well.

Cons

Hard to get a job other than as a package handler (I was not a package handler, not a driver). Stiff competition with other shipping companies. Account Executives (those who land and keep customers, ie: warehouses that ship out) are under more and more stress. Everyone is under stress to cut costs which effects customers, in the end.

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...
