Great workplace with no drawbacks - Office Assistant UPS Employee Review

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!.

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...

You start as a temp and when you get officially hired in (if you do) you have to be there consistently for nine months to get benefits. But apparently it’s great insurance that covers everything and the company pays for it. I wouldn’t know because I decided it wasn’t worth it to keep hurting myself and breaking my back to do this job part time. Lots of people use it as a seasonal second job around the holidays. Many people use it as a second job just for the insurance. As a result people show up just enough to get the ins and they aren’t reliable. Being reliable means you have to be there breaking your back trying to make up for all the people who didn’t show. The hours are horrible and inconsistent no matter what shift you are on. I am not a morning person but I was on the early morning shift which meant I could get my kids to and from school and still work. I decided putting them on the bus and going to work on a regular office schedule for more pay paid way more sense for me. Watching people who were there for 30 years struggle into retirement made me realize I didn’t want to do this long term. The pancake breakfasts were great but it didn’t make up for the short comings and disconnect from HR that was unreachable.

Nearly everything except insurance and I got a great workout even started to get an definition up toward my ribs that I never had before.
