Pros

Make just under a 100000 a year weekends off holidays off lots of vacation time.Union job so seniority always reigns.One of the few company's left that offers a pension also health benefits at no cost to you and your family

Cons

Hard labor at a break neck pace with constant pressure and micromanage ment being applied to you every second.You are constantly being monitored and held accountable for your performance.The bar is raised every year so as you age you have to become faster at completing your route.The pressure is applied from the top down turning the management and hourly employees into adversaries.You are basically a beast of burden

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...
