Pros

The schedule was very flexible and I could choose however many hours I wanted/needed to work. The job was independent and easy enough to do, if not a little tedious. It paid well.

Cons

The company was slightly disorganized, probably because of the chaos of the holiday season. I could only work once I was contacted by a driver that needed help and that was usually inconsistent in time and the driver I was working with. If I had technical problems it was up to me to figure them out because there wasn't an easy way to get support. The job incentivizes hours worked over number of packages delivered which meant it was very lax and I easily could've taken advantage of it by not performing as efficiently as I could have. Again, it was very independent, not much structure, guidance, or supervision.

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...
