Pros

Good benefits and great hours

Cons

Only 1 single 10 minute break regardless of how many hours you work in a day. Sounds pretty shady, right? Yeah. It is. Everything is your fault. Don't meet production on your shift even though you did exactly what you were told. Your job basically consists of asking hourly, union, employees to work faster, which they are under no obligation to do. When they don't work faster you are told that you don't know how to do your job. Sometimes you are asked to "demonstrate" to employees who have been there 10+ years. Union rules state that as management you are not to do any work, so you are supposed to tell someone to step aside so they can watch you as you demonstrate, which they often will not let you do. So, you are *wink wink* asked to demonstrate, which means you need to work, but you weren't exactly told to work, but you know that that's what your boss wants you to do. Then when you get filed on for working management does not have your back, and instead will suspend you. No training either. You aren't told how to manage people. You are taught how to fill out paperwork, and that's basically it. Management barely knows how to manage the other part-time managers. There is so much micro-management going on here it will make your head spin. Ever had 4 different people telling you 4 different, contradicting, things to be doing at once? That's just another day here. As management, you aren't even allowed to make any management decisions. You are there to be told that you are not doing your job. You will have a radio strapped to you so that these lovely reminders of how terrible you're doing can be shouted into your ear by every upper-management person under the sun. Employees will not listen to you, because why would they? There are no repercussions for their actions. They walk out when they want, or don't do as you ask them? Your fault.

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...
