Pros

overnight, gives you more time during the day for other things, like going to school, another job, or focusing on building your own business. some supervisors are ok but they all follow their own bosses , the ones hirer up so at the end of the day whether they are friendly or not their first priority is appeasing the demands from those "above them" to the determents of the package handlers

Cons

they over work you , they basically want to rush you to finish the work so you work less time. they don't really want anyone going over 5 hours. they are times of course when you will have more than 5 hours. when the incoming packages are high like during holidays. but however they can they will try and cut hours and rush out packages. its not completely terrible but it is hard work and depending on who your manager is will make a difference of if you stay or go for the most part. if you have a great manager then its not too bad just heavy work flow

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...
