Pros

The best reasons to work for UPS are the pay and benefits. I'm curious as to whether they would be so generous if the Teamsters didn't give them a little nudge. As a driver, I also like the fact that I go take care of business without someone breathing down my neck all day.

Cons

The downsides to working at UPS would be the irregularity of (full time) hours worked...overtime is not an option (only excessive overtime can be fought). Also, management always seems to be looking to pass the buck to hourly employees for their problems and shortcomings.

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...
