Pros

The customers can be fun to meet with. Some of the people you will work with will become great friends.

Cons

Performance indicators reports and all the ridiculous marketing initatives and mandates are absurd. Management team spends so much time tracking, monitoring and reporting on things that have no impact on the customer's wants and needs. It's a giant bureaucracy. In addition, they FORCE you to donate to the United Way each year. I have my own charity that I donate to and yet the company sends out a message with a "suggested" donation amount to the U.W. When I sent nothing, I was told I needed to send something. When I donated $50 I was told I needed to up it to at least $200. We're in a recession and I'm saving every penny! Why "suggest" when really you're twisting my arm and forcing me to do so out of fear of losing my job.

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...
