Pros

By far the best reasons are the benefits. UPS offers fantastic benefit plans to all their employees. This company is very widely known and respected. Other companies are very impressed by UPS on your resume which greatly increased your possibility of being offered a great position. Working at UPS broadens your knowledge of local businesses and locations, as well as understanding how big business runs. Also, the men are hot, but that's just quiet perk.

Cons

Terrible pay is first and foremost the worst part of UPS. There are many, many problems at UPS, but honestly, no one would be complaining so loudly if we were getting paid for the nightmare we have to deal with daily. High stress, time constraints, a complete lack of communication between upper management and all subordinates, outdated computer programs and hardware, lack of any ability to hold people accountable for their actions and disrespect for fellow supervisors and drivers alike. As PTPCS we are assigned a ridiculous amount of daily tasks and told to get them all done within 5 1/2 hours. We can not have overtime, but they want us to finish all the tasks, so any overtime must be done off the clock for no pay.

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...
