Pros

Management was nice enough, no major issues there - we were mostly left to get on with it. Received occasional trinkets and food. Atmosphere was relaxed.

Cons

Basically no hazard protection, and training & safety equipment is basically nonexistent. I only found out there were a couple pairs of gloves available because a new employee FOUND them, to the surprise of pretty much everyone. Very large wounds were ignored. Appointed first aiders were clueless when approached. They want you having zero contact with HR. They want everything to go through your line manager. So if something happens, you need to make a FUSS or it'll get swept under the rug. From what I saw, deliberate damage to parcels is ignored. I wouldn't send anything fragile. Equipment, both electronic and otherwise, is incredibly shoddy - slows you down massively. They started charging for coffee.

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...
