Pros

This company has tremendous respect for individuals who are hard-working. Employees are treated with respect and upper management are fairly competent within their positions. Job security was not as much of a concern when I worked there as other companies were going through a series of layoffs during the economic downfall.

Cons

Career advancement is very slow to progress with positions taking months to interview for. However, feedback from upper management makes it seem that patience is key as they are in comfortable positions now even though it took a long time to get there. Salary is on the low end of the scale for comparable positions elsewhere. Educational assistance is minimal for employees seeking to obtain advanced degrees.

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...
