Pros

Your supposed to get paid every Thursday but the checks are usually late.

Cons

If you get stationed at a shopping mall for the holiday season so you will be dropping off carts of heavy 50 lb boxes in the storage rooms of the big dept. stores. and stacking them until your arms feel like they are about to fall off. You will be sore all over your body after a 4 hour shift then a week later you will find out that you got docked a few hours because of clerical or driver error logging in your shift. My first check was 2 weeks late then I got docked 2 hours on my 2nd check. They charge $22 per month for union dues even for temporary employees. The drivers are mean and aggressive and will embarrass you in public to hurry up despite doing your best nothing is ever good enough. You will always get told off about something. They also have no patience and will walk over people that get in the way of their path of delivery.

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...
