Pros

The ONLY reason to work for UPS is the salary. The money and benefits are great, but it comes at a cost. You're treated like you do not matter, and you don't. You're told to lie to the customers. The customers of UPS are nothing but numbers, they matter as much as a UPS employee does (not at all).

Cons

Managers are promoted from within, causing a "carrot in front of the donkey" syndrome. The philosophy of UPS is to GET THE PACKAGES OUT OF THE DOOR no matter what the cost to UPS or the customer. The customer comes last.

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...
