Retirement Plan

The pension is satisfactory if you stay 30 or 35 years, but you cannot collect until you are older which complicates matters if you start working for UPS when you are younger. The excellent management pension has apparently been stripped down to the inadequate level, and that could disappear in the near future.

work part time and get benefit full time

The pension plan is very good. You can early retire at 55 years old and 10 years of service to be included in the pension plan. I believe a mid manager will likely get between $3,000-$4,000 month if he/she has around 20 years of service.

don't know anything. You could buy UPS stock at a discount.

Having educated myself, it seems to be quite generous! Provided the union doesn't spend it all before we get it.. .

it just seems like this is you regular retirement 401k type stuff. although i will say that it looks like every retired guy i have met has said how great it truly is.

We have to wait until we are 55 to retire, no matter how many years of service we have

Pension plan is 100% paid for by ups

The UPS stock plan is excellent and provides incentive based rewards each year. The 401K match could be better.
