Pros

Relatively Good benfits, Strong corporate culture, Clear communications of objectives and expectations, no nonsense approach in dealing with problems. High level of technical competence demonstrated by most management members.

Cons

Junior mgmt members are thrown under the bus to keep labor peace with the unions, especially the Teamsters. Many sort (operations) managers are simply ignorant, and refuse to accept, the necessity of tasks other than those directly related to delivering pkgs. Expectations of younger managers higher than those of previous generations without any education or technical skills.

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...
