Pros

The benefits are good - if you last

Cons

The only documentation received on what to expect from the job in regards to hours, orientation/onboarding, schedule, etc is inaccurate. This is apparently an ongoing issue, that they refuse to resolve. Scare tactics during the orientation are utilized regarding the culture and ability to take time off, to ensure that those who aren't a good fit are weeded out early. Managers then tell the next group of new hires that people are intimidated that the physical labor is too hard, without conducting research into why people don't go back. Found out through an off-hand question by a rehire that I am required to work past my off time, even though it's not posted. This should have been communicated at the building tour/onboarding, instead of after having every employee sign their commitment to attendance without actual knowledge of attendance hours

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...
