Pros

Could be good seasonal job for students

Cons

Don't bother applying. !st meeting they explain salary is $8.00 per hour starting when first package is delivered You must call each morning to see if there is work available - there isn't There is no parking available on property and no on street parking allowed 2nd meeting - you will attend a 5 hour orientation - they show you how to get in and out of the truck,explain company policies and you will also get a UPS jacket and pants (which must be returned or they report as a theft) Told to call between 7 -7:30am each day to get assignment - they take your contact info and promise to call you back but don't Not worth the aggravation for $8

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...
