Pros

Benefits are great, and there is potential to grow within the company, well the warehouse since that's where package handlers start working from, you can start at $9.50 (back in 2010) and by the 3rd month you get a dollar raise and are allowed to take a "sort-out" test for another dollar raise, so within the first year you can go from $9.50 to $ 11.50 the hour.

Cons

work conditions are pretty bad, there are time trailers you will need to load at over 90 degrees hot inside since they haven't been opened, very fast phased so it might be as a "con" for some people, have patient because you will be bossed around and told what to do, the place is very loud and fast so you might take things the wrong way when being told.

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...
