Pros

- Competitive wages. - Benefits package. - Tuition reimbursement after a year, attention to fine print.

Cons

-Culture encouraged finger pointing and blaming the next person, rather than taking personal accountability. This lead to time wasted documenting proof that a job was done rather than worrying about doing the job itself. -Part timers have a low hour commitment with high availability requirement. There were mandated randomly assigned shifts outside my available hours. It was difficult to hold another job to supplement part time income. -Insufficient/irrelevant onboarding training, and poor on the job training. You are often left to “fend for yourself” -Very few advancement opportunities, almost no full time positions. -Benefits package has odd clauses, as well as few in network options. Read the fine print carefully.

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...
