Pros

Good pay, some interesting people.

Cons

I started when the company was transitioning from pubically owned to private, and also shortly after the strike in 97. UPS is now a shell of its former self and basically a different company 20 years later. You no longer have tenured management who care about the operations and its people. Not everyone can physically handle the workload, if you are an hourly employee. -Toxic- culture. Good management leave for better opportunities, while the leftover lifers who are stuck can be sadistic and bully employees. You will see plenty of illegal hiring and workplace infractions if you work here long enough. Ride the class-action train when applicable, if that's your thing. UPS will leave plenty of opportunity for that.

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...
