Pros

In this area of the country the pay is good, so employee retention is high. This affords employees to build good bonds with each other and their customers to provide a good service. The benefits are also very good for a labor intensive job without any needed higher learning. If you do enjoy hard work, this is an excellent job to have, but you will sacrifice in the long run with physical problems. UPS does provide their service providers with uniforms, which cuts down on clothing costs. Finally, if you tend to be a follower, not a leader, UPS in a place for you, as original thoughts and ideas are not asked of you.

Cons

Management is strictly running the company by looking at key numbers, then manipulating other numbers to make the tracked number appear better. This gives a false sense of what the company is actually trying to achieve in the first place, and overall makes all the statistics unreliable. UPS management has taken the stance that it's hourly employees should have no knowledge outside of their immediate skills needed to do the job, thereby making employees, representatives of UPS, appear to have no knowledge of the company and it's operations to the general public. Hourly employees are constantly threatened and beaten down, supposedly to maintain an adversarial work environment, which alienates employees from wanting to dork harder for UPS.

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...
