Pros

ups hired me when other employers were looking at resumes very streamlined straight forward hiring process, all you need is a pulse and no skeletons in your closet. surprisingly consistant monday thru friday hours. no problem with overtime good exercise, you will be great shape for first runs of ski season. get to meet folks in your neighborhood. get the dirt on folks in your neighborhood. nice customers will give you cookies, and nicer ones will give you rum brownies.

Cons

You want me to what, for for $9.50/ hr??? management wants nothing to do with seasonal hires, they just can't wait until December 24, and then get rid of you. will promise "advancement opportunity" or "foot in the door" but in reality the only permanent jobs go to people who know somebody in the union. no appreciation for busting a## for a month. merry christmas, you are now unemployed again. please do not file for unemployment, we will challenge it, because you have been working less than 30 days.

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...
