Pros

There is a sense of pride in doing the physical work. They do offer great benefits if you make it through the gauntlet. I have great respect for those that just put their headphones in and ignore incessant talking down.

Cons

No matter how much you are willing to adjust and do it is never enough. You can give it 110% and they will demand 120%. Give the 120% and they demand 130%. Almost comical when being barked by an extremely immature adult-child supervisor. The benefits are intriguing and can really be a good thing but you really have to weigh your dignity vs benefits. The pay alone is ridiculously small compared to the large demand always put on you. If you are the type of person that enjoys waking up at 2:30am and going to work for a mere 3 hours and getting paid a lousy $20 after taxes and other deductions all while having an unqualified supervisor treating you like garbage then this is the job for you!

Pros

Union stewards are the most helpful people of all time. Take care of yourself.

Cons

Some supervisors will pressure you to work faster so they can be done at a certain time. inconsistent break times. computer will not clock you in until the sort time so don't clock in early.

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...
