Pros

This is a good place to learn B2B sales techniques. UPS is also a good company for learning to work on independently.

Cons

They is not enough communication or training for the sales force. There were times that I would learn of new products or opportunities from customer mailing and never received info from corporate. Paperwork is overly repetitive, although management can pull all information from computer. They each have a separate report for you to fill out for them so they don't have to "waste" their time. All contract and reports are to be done on your time. Corporate feeling is that we are UPS and people should be honored to ship with us. This lead to a lot of problems in trying to compete in the market. Was told on several occasions that just because we were UPS our customers should pay a 10+% premium for our services.

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...
