Pros

Great pay for a straight forward job. Hours worked with my busy schedule. You get pay and a half after 5 hours. You get full health benefits after a year, tuition reimbursement immediately. They care about retention, so there are plenty of opportunities to grow within the company.

Cons

Tuition reimbursement is only $2,500 a semester. I worked at UPS in another city where they reimburse tuition in full. $2,500 is still nice though. I work the midnight shift, so active labor in the middle of the night is rough, but it's what I signed up for. Don't work here if you cant do 5 hours of nonstop, physically intensive labor. You're on a probationary period for your first 34 days, during which you have people interrupting your workflow to sign a booklet acknowledging your package count and mis-load count for the previous night. Seems completely unnecessary and counterproductive for those who actually get their job done well. It's loud and there's no music.

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...
