Pros

You get to say you work for UPS which most people think is actually a good place to work and great company.

Cons

You work for 30 years only to have them sell your division when you are days away from collecting your pension and they tell you "Sorry so close but no pension for you" The company is looking to get rid of many of its older employees to mitigate the pension liability. Imagine being days away from your Birthday and losing 60% of your pension because they sell UPS Freight and are not willing to bridge you after working over 30 years. Not a people company and don't care about family. Most Managers get demoted at some point regardless of work performance its just their way of cutting cost or creating new job openings for other suck ups. I thought it was all worth it for the pension so I put up with a lot of high pressure and stress only to have UPS Freight sold and lose most of what I earned. While UPS does not offer a pension anymore my warning is if they treat long time dedicated employees like this just think how they will treat new employees and management.

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...
