Pros

Very good benefits after your first year, plenty of over time available, you can easily add 40k a year to your salary and not have to live there. The team will assist you in getting you up to speed to be efficient at the job once you are beyond your probationary period.

Cons

Severely lacking in leadership abilities, there really isn’t anyone in the management team from supervisors to managers that understands the work you are tasked and every job you have for daily work orders are PM tasked and measured by someone offsite that hasn’t ever done the work. You graded within your efficiency of the time you’ve been allotted per job, yet are never told what the time is it takes per assigned jobs. Building managers only care about the packages getting in and out per a sort, a sort consist of 4 hrs 5 times a day which leaves very little time for repairs to be preformed and breakdowns are not an option. It’s the very first places I’ve worked at that the operations team decides if the machinery can go down or not. Run it until it quits, and the operators are always stoned from weed and are required to follow operating procedures because the union protects the employees for any performance related issues.. It’s an odd place too work, but you can definitely ignore it for the pay. There isn’t anyone shift or schedule that is a great shift to work on, management tends to swayed to easily and wants to be everyone’s favorite and to keep everyone feeling warm and fuzzy.

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...
