Pros

- Good base salary, and good bonus opportunities. - You gain a significant amount of experience in the logistics business. - You have a chance to travel to different buildings and learn varying operations, such as automated hubs, air hubs, conventional hubs, air operations, and local operations. - Generally, management wants you to succeed, as long as you have the right support.

Cons

- Unrealistic expectations when it comes to doing something for the first time, especially how poor the training can be. - Work-life-balance does not exist at all. You will work until your eyes are red. - Promotions are given to those that cozy up to management, versus actual level of skill on the job, and the willingness to grow with the business.

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...
