Pros

Same hours every day, GREAT tuition reimbursement program, okay pay, excellent health benefits (kick in after a year), easy to get hired. Perfect job for college students or people who just need an extra job.

Cons

Not a lot of flexibility in hours and days off. They will expect you to be there every single day and not to be late. Some supervisors are more flexible than others. The job can be monotonous, since you will probably be doing the same thing every day. Also, if you can't lift 70 pounds, don't bother applying. It takes a year for health benefits and paid vacation to kick in.

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...
