Pros

Great Benefits and a very ethical company. A well respected company which promotes great work ethics that can be taken anywhere else if you so choose. Plenty of opportunity for advancement and a great place to start a career.

Cons

Pay is sub standard but if you move up the politics and responsibility are not worth the extra pay so you end up decided to stay where you are at. Almost feel like you are at a dead end unless you want to bleed brown. No chance of thinking outside the box. If you prove that a certain method works, you have no outlet to present it. Mentality of "you can disagree but you cant disobey" Upper mgmt is very disconnected from the front lines. Too much admin work and less time focusing on your real job. Constantly asked to fill out action plans or logs so that someone can justify their job. Again, you are removed from focusing on the real problems.

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...
