Pros

Honest, hard work - if you do your job properly and without complaint you will move up within the company. It may take a while to advance, but if you stick with it there are plenty of opportunities down the road. The company has also never been shy at explaining what is expected of you - no subterfuge or ambiguity. And once you start working with UPS, they are loyal to you and you have a fraternity of other workers.

Cons

Hard to get ahold of the managers or supervisors. Also, UPS is extremely dependent on the state of the economy - while the company's fortunes rise with the economy, that means they also fall with the economy as well. And if you've only been working a short period of time, expect to be laid off first.

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...
