Pros

After you work for a year then you get good medical/dental insurance and other benefits.

Cons

I was hired for peak driver, but when I showed up I was informed it was for a part time preload position and after October 15 I would start driving. Began driving at the beginning of December, only till the 24th not January 15 as previously stated. Management don't care about their personnel. You show up to work at 4:15am and they send you home. Waste of time, gas, etc. when you work is non stop for 3 hrs then a quick 10min break and that's it. For $11:00/hr you are breaking your back. I joined because I wanted to work but, an hour a week doesn't pay the bills. They give you a nice picture of what the job will be, but once you get in its different and disappointing.

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...
