Pros

Loved working here during my college days. Great benefits. Took care of me. I loved the work. Using your hands. I was a small 5'5" 18 year old kid about 125 pounds. But I promise you I can outwork anybody 2-3x my size and I loved it. I worked 2x as fast as the next guy. When I left, 2 of the managers told me they don't know how they are gonna get the trailers unloaded on time now.

Cons

Cons kinda goes with the pros. The union allowed us to have great benefits but created lazy guys. You can't just fire a guy cuz the Union wouldn't allow it. I remember a couple guys telling me to slow down. Said it made them look bad for one and also it didn't matter if I worked harder cuz I would just get paid the same as them anyways. I hated that laziness.

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...
