Pros

You are paid weekly. If you opt for direct deposit, it doesn't kick in until 2 or 3rd week. Medical benefits aft 1 year but if you can hang in, company pays medical. It's free medical!

Cons

Very labours work! This job isn't for everyone. It is very physical. You are expect to keep a certain pace so packages keep moving. Which isn't easy as packages come in various sizes (envelopes, to car parts) No need to dress in you best because you will ruin you clothing. Also, expect to sweat! My shirts were soaking wet every night I left. Oh, if you quit, they don't allow you to come back. I left due to pick up issues with my kids and as a single mom I did what I needed to for my kids. So, hang in there as it is tough but the.rewards a plenty if you stay.

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...
