Pros

This was a seasonal job that I took for the month of December- which is their peak-season; and I will go back again this year. I previously worked in the corporate world and returned to school, so I enjoyed it. It got me in shape pretty quickly, and they are super-serious about safety. I recommend it if you are a self motivated person, and reliable. Also, you might get a christmas tip from the Driver!

Cons

it was physically demanding, which isn't necessarily bad- but when people order HUGE boxes of stuff for their loved ones at the holidays- that's the stuff you have to deliver-so be prepared. Be prepared for the weather- you know what they say; through ice and sleet and.... I was surprised at how many other helpers did NOT show up some days- so I was asked to do a little extra time with another driver..

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...
