Pros

Pay was very good and benefits reasonable. A lot of incentive to hold your stock (that they award management) with a 2% bonus each year. 401K was good with 3% matching.

Cons

As a management employee, hours were long (12-14 hour days not unusual), particularly for center supervisors. As an Engineering Manager, there were 12 hour days ending at 21:00, only to have to be back on the preload at 03:00. By the end of the week you'd be pretty tired and worn out.

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...
