Pros

It's a fun job and low stress. It'd be good for a college student on break or someone looking for a little extra cash during the holidays.

Cons

Management gave few details about the job before sending you out. The 1st day I showed up as a driver helper the driver was forced to send me home because he wasn't authorized to keep me longer. Hours have become limited to a max of 3 per day. They don't give you a heads up when they expect you to work on a Saturday, only give notice the day of. Low hourly wage but considering the job I don't think it's unfair.

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...
