Pros

- FT hours (40+) available. Job description says 5.5hrs 5x/wk, but realistically it's 6-8hrs 5-6x/wk. OT kicks in at 40. - Decent benefits. I've used tuition reimbursement as an hourly and management to continue attending school.

Cons

There's no sugarcoating this gig: either you're up for a physically challenging job in a productivity-driven environment with reasonable compensation, or you're not. Yes, this is a management position and the primary responsibility is supervising hourly union employees, but this remains a very physically demanding job. You will walk 5-10 miles on concrete every day, and your feet will hurt. You will be lifting large, awkward, 70-150lb packages, and your arms will hurt. This is an open warehouse in CO with some exterior work, so you will be both freezing and burning throughout the year. You will come home exhausted and filthy with box grime and sweat. Typical shift is 0300ish-1000ish, changes weekly based on forecasted workload, but start time will be around midnight or earlier during most of Nov and Dec. Don't take this job if you aren't ready to be pushed every night.

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...
