Pros

UPS provides a very steady secure job, if you are not the lowest guy on the hourly totem pole. If you can get on board, keep your head tucked down, and do your basic job you don't have to worry about getting fired, layed off, or otherwise be out of work.

Cons

Once you get into management (including Part Time Management) you can expect to spend more time dedicated to UPS than your own family. UPS is much like the military with it's assignments. You are told where to be and when to be there, and you don't have much of a choice. If they need some help in another building several hundred miles away, you're told to go and help. It doesn't really matter if you have committments with your family, you go.

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...
