Pros

Co-workers were amazing, always helping each other out and making the day better. You are able to save up many days to take off and hours are set but if you need a day off, it shouldn't be a hassle.

Cons

Everyone who loads is overworked. You usually leave the day feeling sore but you eventually get used to it. An all male environment can make women there feel uncomfortable, especially because there are some creeps and perverts there. Expect to be treated unfairly as your time there passes by. Sometimes seniority rules are overlooked and you could be stuck doing more than you should.

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...
