Pros

Close knit group. The job is steady and you won't get fired unless you lie cheat or steal. Other administrative employees are very helpful and willing take time from their schedules to assist you. If you like floor operations you can be out on the floor quite a bit. IE Managers are all very nice and understand difficulty of working rough hours.

Cons

Long hours, management trainees limited to 40 hours per week, but IE supervisors work at least 10 hours a day. Off-schedule shifts are brutal, especially sunrise (2am-noonish) and nights (7pm-5amish)Operations and Operations Managers have little respect for what the IE department does.

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...
