Pros

The money. That's it. I've worked for UPS for almost 15 years. I've worked every union position this company offers, and would never, never, never consider the management side. The benefits aren't real. Your health insurance isn't real. If something happens to you, and your family doesn't know how to contact the 30 institutions required to continue health care, you're sol. You are *1 million times* better off being in control of your own insurance. 80% of upsers are divorced, single, alone, kids left, wife left... BUT! At least you got 3x pay for being overworked every single week while your family fell apart? Right? Right?! (was it really worth it? really?)

Cons

Everything else. Coworkers=toxic. Management=toxic. Union=toxic. Benefits=fake. I pray to God everyday for a way out, and more often than not consider taking my own way out.

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...
