Pros

The only thing that was good was the benefits and retirement. If you work the just be a delivery driver and forget management. It's nice just to clock in and out once work is done. Management you'll work 12 hrs a day 5 days a week and 16 hrs during peak season and not make any extra money

Cons

The man challenge I had while working at UPS was that I had to learn how to deal with many different personalities. I had to come accustom to the lack of accountability the company (management) has with it's employees. That the union doesn't encourage or promote pride in the day to day work load of the union employees, thus lowering the quality of the product and services. That it's a numbers base corporate company. Most importantly I should have stayed union and never crossed over to management. I was once told by a full time sup that it's a "good ol' club" that I'll never be able to make full time. He was right because after 10 years part time supervisor role on the package center I was passed up on a full time position. They got me

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...
