Pros

-Mentally stimulating -Decent money -I liked the hours I worked

Cons

-Lack of thorough and structured training -Some members of management very rude and not personable -During peak season, there are A LOT of packages. When you’re tasked with loading 3-5 trucks, it’s nearly impossible to not “stack out” or have packages stacked outside your trucks because they’re coming down the belt far faster than you can efficiently put them in their correct spots. Then you have supervisors acting like you’re an incompetent fool. -They over-hired drivers during the pandemic so there was no option to advance into a driver position anytime soon. In fact, I was laid off from seasonal because they had too many employees and needed to put drivers on the belts to load their own trucks.

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...
