Pros

Management has changed drastically within the past 3 months. To say the least it has improved morale. There seems to be a genuine intent to improve existing conditions and allow employees to be more involved with daily operations. The benefits are as good as advertised and the discounts come in handy with a wide variety of categories. The work is not difficult and with the right training, is actually easy. Of course, that depends on which account you work in. Each department is different but overall the people in the company are helpful, cheerful, and willing to help. There is a team atmosphere that has developed lately.

Cons

The most obvious is the pay scale. When you bust your tail for six months and are told that you have reached the highest levels of evaluation seen in years, it brings you back down to earth when you are only compensated with a $.25 raise. In theory, you would have to work 12 years to receive a $3 dollar raise. Considering this company deals with medical supplies, starting out at $10 is almost laughable (and that includes forklift operators). The biggest cons under that were inconsistency in management. That and extreme micromanagement of the managers which to some degree, trickled down to employees. Honestly, this is appearing less with the change in management.

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...
