      Pros

      The best thing about working at UPS was the weekly pay, early morning hours, and 9.45 hr starting wage.

      Cons

      Constantly overworked and always told never doing job good enough. Dangerous working environments with old machinery that was either broken or didn't work right. Bossy supervisors who care little about your overall safety and more about the rate at which you work. Probationary period is a joke they just hire you then fire you once your close to making your probationary period so benefits are not given to you and pay is not raised. Basically they believe in keeping company worker costs down at all costs they work there new hires unsafely and could careless about your safety.

      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...
