Pros

Good Exercise. The pay is above minimum wage and overtime starts after 5 hours. After a year, part-time employees are eligible for health insurance.

Cons

Dangerous! The place is an OSHA nightmare. Supervisors are constantly yelling to work faster but do little to assist or actually supervise. To handle the work load and keep up with expectations, you are required to cut corners. Safety is an afterthought. Injuries and near misses are under-reported and a lot is done to discourage any worker's comp complaints. The work is rough and wears on you. Unloaders are expected to move packages weighing from 1-70 pounds at a rate of 1200 packagers per hour. if you can do lifts and squats continuously for 4-5 hours, then this is the job for you.

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...
