Pros

The pay is union scale for union employees and not very good for non union employees. Management has ranges of pay for the job you do. The benefits are good for the union people not as good for the non union and management people. Room to move up if you can play their game.

Cons

Hostile work environment, you are treated like a number very replaceable.. very unfair environment don't get hurt your fault or not they will get rid of you. Very hostile work environment between management and union people. Very unfriendly company to work for everyone is always unhappy because of the union management tensions. Don't go management its an eat or be eaten mentality and you will constantly have other management people taking your credit and blaming you for their mistakes. The word is cover your ass or someone will stick it to you. They will chew you up and spit you out because your nothing to them. The junior management has no power to do their job , the union is very strong so unless you steal something its almost impossible to fire a bad employee. If you pass out or collapse they will work around you and not offer any assistance or let anyone help you just call an ambulance and leave you were you fall. They are afraid of any liability even though there is a good Samaritan law that would cover you. Very hard work for the money you make and lousy hours for years. Don't work there .

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...
