Pros

Good benefits Casual Simple (but still hard) work Okay pay

Cons

People in management are more greedy than logical, have no control over their emotions, and treat people inhumanely (causing workers to quit/ not come into work, which causes staff shortage). Sexism and sexual harassment is rampant (among upper management and coworkers) and ignored/ laughed at when brought up. Will lie to new hires to manipulate them into working faster even when dangerous (and will blame them/ fire them if injured). Horrible working environment that makes the actual work (which is not that bad once you get used to it) more difficult than it has to be. You just basically need to watch out for yourself, stick with your fellow coworkers, and use your union reps when needed. And don't trust any supervisors - some are kind and chill, but are pressured/bullied by upper management to abuse their workers.

Pros

THE DRIVERS! they were so nice. Not afraid to give advice, I really liked the drivers, the only ones I had contact with. All were good at their job, etc

Cons

Cold. So this may be only part of the country, but omg, I would have to get paid $100 an hour to work basically your whole shift in 30 or below weather. Before calling me wuss, ask if your winter experience is segments of running to warm place to warm place or hrs in the cold.

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...
