Pros

For me there was really no pros about this job. I'm thinking.............Nope none that I can think of. oh maybe one.. if your young and don't mind hard work and being talked to like crap..then yeah this is for you.

Cons

Where do I start. I work as a part time pre loader for almost six months..six months too long but I had to do what I had to do at the time. They are quick to hire without a drug test or back ground check, because they just want someone to work. I worked from 5am to 9am. Worst job ever and I say that because it was all about numbers. they work you like a slave and talk to you like one too. You have to load the brown truck by taking packages off of this conveyor belt. the packages come in no order for the trucks you're loading..you just have to pick you packages out of the bunch. The belt moves at a speed that the human person can not keep up with. I had four trucks to load. So you have to take the boxes from the belt then put them on the truck then come back out and and grab the box for the next truck and so on and so on. not impossible but at UPS it is. Then the whole time they(supervisors) are yelling at you to get the boxes on the right truck right no.. cause you dnt dare get a mislead (wrong package on the wrong truck) cause you will be hounded the whole shift. I recently quit this week..cause I had had enough. I could go on and on about this awful place of business but It would be a book. you dnt get paid for the work you do by any means what so ever. I say stay away if you can.. This job was my last resort and the only reason I took 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...
