Pros

One of the worlds' largest companies--looks great on a resume. One of the few companies that still offers a pension. Benefits are excellent--I'm not aware of any other company (including government) that offers benefits that compare with UPS in terms of cost to employee. Promotion from within can allow people starting in entry-level jobs to advance to senior levels without needing lots of experience or education.

Cons

There is no regard for work/life balance. 24/7/365 environment means that all employees (regardless of department or job function) can work any time, any place, any where. Standard workday is 9.5 hours for all (not including lunch). Career paths within the company almost always involve transfers to various locations and various departments (operations, package delivery, and staff departments).

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...
