Pros

Being a logistics professional for a worldwide leader in the industry. This looks good on your resume. You can meet all kinds of people and be exposed to various types of industries.

Cons

Management is expected to work no less than 10 hours per day. Your work schedule can change instantaneously because it's a 24 hour operation and management does not care if you have responsibilities to your family or children. It's the employee's problem. Stress levels of management are significant enough to cause health issues like high blood pressure and stroke. The divorce rate amongst management employees is very high. Management employees are underpaid in comparison with other industries with similar roles. Although the company brags about 'Safety First' they have been known to put management employees in harm’s way during natural disasters so packages can be delivered. Operations management rarely chooses its own career path. The company places you where there is a need. The slogan 'we promote from within' has proven to be incorrect in some instances. Well-educated with several degrees plus on the job experience with accolades employees have been continuously passed up for various opportunities. In one instance, the hiring manager chose to hire a newly degreed college student with no experience who is not loyal to the company and paid them more than the tenured employee.

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...
