Pros

Good benefits. guarantee of 27 hours work a week at minimum. Very physical work, so you will stay in shape. Very task oriented work, have to know how to juggle problems and make good, quick decisions.

Cons

You get blamed for everything, regardless of how well you do your job, makes it hard to try and go above and beyond your duties when you arent recognized for it. I.E. getting done early, filling out all your paper work on time, getting more scan checks than required. Constantly harassed by both upper management and drivers/loaders for every little mistake; even if its not your fault. An air goes missing, a package breaks open and spills, or a loader goes over his max time because he wants to help are all things you will be blamed for making it hard to stay motivated to your job and help your team of loaders stay focused and get done.

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...
