Pros

I started at UPS when I first got out out of school. In retrospect, I’m really happy it was my first job. You learn a lot and have the opportunity for exposure. The salary is decent and the benefits are nice.

Cons

UPS is working on their work-life balance, but it’s a massive corporation so it’s taking time. It also just depends on what group you are in. The worst part about UPS is the “peak ready team.” They did not do one to my knowledge for 2018, but in 2017 I (and many others from the corporate office) was sent to work in a hub for about 5 weeks between thanksgiving and Christmas, and all I got was a mug. This is also not necessarily a “fun” place to work. Most employee events have an awkward vibe, because again, it is so big. That being said it is what you make it!

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...
