Pros

Nice facility. Good workspaces as far as cubicles go. Management was easy to communicate with.

Cons

I was a software developer there for a very short time. The pay was just too low - I only took the job to get experience. I left as soon as I found something better. Even the developers who had years of experience were poorly paid. Had to shave my beard to work there (I had a short, neat Van Dyke - not some bushy monstrosity) because their comporate policy didn't allow for employees to have any facial hair below the lips. Hard to believe. The hiring manager sat across from me in the interview, saw that I had a beard, and didn't bother to tell me I'd have to shave it off. I wasn't informed of this until after I accepted the job through a recruiter. Imagine if I'd been unwilling to shave it but had already quit a current job apon hearing I was hired!

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...
