Pros

The health insurance was the best I have ever had eventhough I had to wait 12 weeks after my thirty days of probation for them. The insurance is free, as in they don't deduct from your paycheck. The lack of interference with school or another job that you want to work at.

Cons

The starting pay is $8.50, after 30 working days it increases to $9.00. The work pace can be demanding but you will get use to it if you want to. The management always wants more but the trick is to find out the flow rate the equipment was designed to handle and just stay above that.

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...
