Pros

Good pay, decent 401K plan, fairly stable but who knows in this industry.

Cons

Line Maintenance Supervisors are beat down stuck between Union protected Mechanics and upper management. Mechanics are almost untouchable and they know it. Mechanics have way better benefits than Management and in a lot of cases make way more money if topped out. Great benefits for management have eroded away while Union protected employees still enjoy free medical insurance. Management loses another benefit everytime a new contract is negotiated for mechanics. Long work hours for Supervisors. In non Ops supervisor positions, supervisors are forced to work in the sort operation when weather is bad for no extra money. Bonuses have also eroded or completely disappeared over the years.

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...
