Pros

Good benefits, but long hours. Good job security and a fixed pension plan

Cons

Long hours expected regularly. Very difficult to balance work with a personal life. Difficult to schedule time off or get off early for personal events. This is a complaint one seems to hear in most departments. And forget about doing just about anything outside of work during December. Every job has "peak" work hours, but 16 hours/day for 6 weeks is especially long. Of course, you wont' have the opportunity to visit relatives this time of year either. Some of this is to be expected, but no effort is really made to mitigate the excess hours either.

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...
