Pros

After 25 years in Management you get 6 weeks of vacation

Cons

1.Management can't take vacations when they want. Only when company wants them to. 2.Union gets their health benefits, Management has to pay for theirs...increases every year. 3.Management no longer receives retirement, Union employees still do. 4.Management required to work a minimum of a 10 hour day with no lunch or breaks More comonly 12 to 16 hours. FT teamsters receive time and half after 8 hours and an additional 20 minute paid break after 10. 5. UPS will preach Safety, but the only reason it's pushed so hard is because of the cost of being self insured. 6. Recently cut the management ranks signifacntly. When people quit or retire, they are not replaced. 7.Very top heavy in upper management. 8. Rank and File management feel the Partnership Legacy that UPS always totes is long gone. 9. Conference Calls are all norm. No one ever gets trained properly. Just take a CBT or listen on a Conference Call. Too many folks doing the calls have never done what they are asking you to do.

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...
