Pros

-100% free health insurance. Including dental, vision, prescriptions. Amazing plan too: low copays, very low prescription costs. -With no education, this is one of the highest-paying jobs you could get. (You get a raise every 6 months too!) -If you're in school, UPS pays you $1000 per semester to help cover tuition costs. Its like getting a $1000 bonus check for completing each semester! -You'll work hard almost every night. This should cause you to go home each night with a great sense of pride and accomplishment at a job well done. It's a very good feeling that you just can't get from working at, say, a grocery store. -If you like Tetris, then loading trucks is for you!

Cons

-It gets very hot in the summer. And you're working in a warehouse. Industrial fans and water jugs become your best friends. -Likewise, it gets very cold in the winter. And very, VERY busy around the holidays (Christmas). -It is hard, heavy, fast-paced work and there's no "easy way out". This job is not for slackers.

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...
