Pros

They’ll hire you right away, no (or few) questions asked. If you like exercise, you’ll get plenty of it.

Cons

They treat you like animals. More than once I’ve been referred to as a “horse” by management and training. Supervising apparently consists of screaming at the employees as hard and frequently as you can. “Orientation” is not training at all (unless you consider a guy playing decade-old corporate videos and passing on the answers to tests as training). The time assigned to orientation is actually an excuse to get you to sign dozens of documents saying you’ve been extensively trained and are aware of all security procedures - which you’re obviously not - as a way of clearing the company from all liability should you get hurt when trying to figure out how to use the (scarce and poorly maintained) equipment. To make sure there won’t be any issues, they force you to check your phone at security (“check” meaning tossing it inside a makeshift envelope and holding it closed with a recycled identification sticker). Working hours are recorded in chaotic ways, the card swiping being constantly replaced by someone telling you “i made a note of the time you’re leaving, no need to swipe”. Truly appalling, and they couldn’t care less.

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...
