Pros
The best part of my day was the end of the day. Health insurance, pension, overall compensation package is better than average.
Cons
I worked at UPS on and off for 8 years, as a seasonal pre-load worker, helper than finally hired full time permanent as a driver. After two years driving and being abused daily by management I had enough. Management makes the art of delivering packages harder than it is. I understand there are production numbers they want to hit but treating the employee like garbage is not going to achieve those goals. The best advice I was ever given by senior drivers that I did not take was do just enough to get by, nothing more nothing less. I'll never forget the day I realized management cared more about the package car and the packages than they did the driver. During an on car ride with my direct supervisor who made my life a living hell for no other reason because I was white (he told me so) and because he could. I walked off the job during my lunch hour and never looked back and couldn't have been happier about my decision.
