Pros

Driver rate is pretty decent for required knowledge and skills. Will definitely work during peak season. Union will have your back though it is losing its influence.

Cons

Treated like trash. Good work is rewarded with more work/higher expectations. Work done is not worth the rate of pay. Cannot handle peak season(mid Nov-early Jan). This building was the second worst UPS in the country for handling the last peak season. Work loads are nowhere near equal(even taking age, health, area etc. into consideration). You will need surgery or have movement issues if you plan to stay until retirement(I personally acquired arthritis by 25). Management doesn't even follow their own rules until they're being watched by the union. Ten year waiting list minimum until full-time spots open up. Safety first is a lie. Package Handlers make terrible money/hours. Hard to find twenty words for the pros minimum requirement.

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...
