Pros

A name on your resume that everybody in the US knows.

Cons

Granted not all departments are the same; many are run in the old fashion way: command and control. Your opinion/suggestions/ recommendations are never heard; get used to getting orders and execute on them while being micromanaged. There is no trust in your competencies even when you have more experience and education than your boss. If you enjoy having zero career development opportunities (the company invests $0 in training to keep up with the times – unless you are in upper management and of the right skin-tone), a yearly salary increase less than inflation, and having to pay $2.19 for a coffee (plus $.20 for the to-go cup), then this is the place for you!

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...
