Pros

Excellent benefits, many opportunities to change positions or move up in rank

Cons

Firstly, you need to be able to give you any personal life to work here salaried. Don't expect to be able to attend major family events even if they are planned out in advance because a last-minute task may need to be done immediately even though in actuality it could wait. Long hours and the pay does not reflect the hours you actually put in. Little to no recognition for work well done but extreme criticism for even small errors. New ideas are overlooked and pushed to the side. Most managers will only follow corporate direction even if given data supporting a better idea or method. Opinions and ideas of hourly workers are not considered even though they have first-hand knowledge about how everything is working or not working. Not being respected or accepted in the field as I am female. Many managers (especially those older and male) treated me as a child and not as the accomplished engineer I am. I could keep going but basically, your life priorities are 1. UPS 2. UPS 3. Whatever else is important to you

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...
