Pros

Active outdoor job making decent wage with minimal supervision. If you get a skilled and experienced driver, it's very easy. If you can get hired on after the seasonal needs, it sounds like the union will advocate very well for you, and you could work your way to driver for high pay + benefits relatively soon--but it's a big "if" deyending on the year.

Cons

Won't now your route or time until the morning of. Must watch the 6-hour hreshold closely so you don't lose a half hour of pay for a lunch.

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...
