Pros

Stability and consistency are advantages here. While the total compensation is not as competitive as other firms, layoffs are almost unheard of and many people work here their whole career.

Cons

Total Compensation is competitive with other large corporations. However, management bonuses make up a much larger percentage (34% bonus for mgrs, and for 17% sups) of your total compensation then average . At first this sounds like a good thing, but half of your bonus is frozen for five years while the half you get is taxed at a high rate. Also, remember that Total Compensation is in line with other companies means you get less money in your pocket. Essentially what UPS is able to do is shift your compensation into your bonus which they can defer till the end of the year for the first half, and out five more years for the second half.

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...
