Pros

Quickly hire staff offering weekly pay

Cons

No communication, written procedures; training or computer credentials for job processes, or listed requirements to obtain benefits information. $400.00 initiation fee to join union, in addition to union dues. No holiday pay or vacation for a year. Medical benefits could take 4 months or more to earn if you even learn to know better on how to qualify. Anything goes with changes to the advertised shift times. Will require you to work 6 days a week, 12hours a day during peak season. Unhealthy supervisors pick and choose what rules they want to follow and enforce. Unhealthy supervisors yell and have meltdowns because they are not happy inside. Software does not work correctly and they blame the staff for their software bugs.

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...
