Pros

The idea of change has been taken to heart with policies removing the requirement for shaving for male employees, emphasis on diversity, recent change to salary transparency, and shift to a better pay mix. There's also good insurance benefits.

Cons

Recent mandate requiring workers to come in a minimum of 3 days a week is outdated. Management employees were able to bring in record profits for UPS in the two years of being remote yet there's still a stubborn push for in-person work. Pay is still lacking compared to other companies like Home Depot, one of the reasons many folks left this year. Vacation is 2 weeks across the board until you have 5 years of employment. Not many holidays either. Corporate headquarters is located in a heavy traffic area. No public transit subsidy, gym membership is not included and neither is food. Work life balance is lacking. Often hear of long term UPSers putting in 7AM - 6PM work days. This will get worse with return to office.

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...
