Pros

The United Parcel Service, UPS, is a great place to start a career. They have jobs galore and you can select a position based on what you enjoy doing--such as telecommunications, sorting packages, delivery or computer programming. It could be tough to get in, since tens of thousands apply every year. But benefits include a great health plan, stock purchasing options and more. Be prepared to work in a no-nonsense environment where a structured attitude is a requirement.

Cons

UPS has a reputation for running a tight ship where goofing around and playing jokes simply aren't tolerated. UPS has somewhat of a reputation for firing people that can't perform one hundred percent at all times.

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...
