Pros

UPS is stable, and reliable to both its employees and its customers. .

Cons

The trade-off for the great pay, good benefits, and reliabliity, is the inability to enjoy the fruits of your labor. If you work in the operations capacity, you are owned and the expectations are unreasonable. A regular workday is 12-14 hours and it's expected without putting it in writing, or crafted with AM and PM assignments and expectations. Long days, no rest, no vibrance, no innovation coming from those who are on the front lines. All are worn and ready to leave the company; but will only say so amongst their peers. Some are too close to retirement to walk away. The younger management team is not in it for the long haul, and UPS will be facing some serious turnovers with both retirees, and millennial supervisors and managers who don't find having a career with no life very attractive.. Also the heavily unionized environment with vague union rules, don't recognize the company's performance standards, and it makes it entirely difficult to hold low performers accountable to performance, by which the management teams is held accountable.

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...
