Pros

Great Insurance, foot in the door

Cons

Hard work loading trucks, conveyor belt never stops during peak season. No breaks when working 5 hrs of very physically demanding activity. Constantly monitored for speed, safety and scanning of packages from the belt to the package wall in the truck. Loading stools suck. I think there are good opportunities for promotion if you can handle being a loader for some time. I did it during peak season along with another full time job and being a mom of small children and it was too much to handle.

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...
