Pros

36.40 an hour. Average 8 hours per week of over time at 54.60 per hour. Union protection. Made 99,xxx $ last year. excellent benefits package that costs the company over 30k per year. top of the line health benefits. 6 weeks of paid vacation per year. early retirement with a great pension. West coast pension fund is one of the strongest in the nation.

Cons

overtime can be brutal. zero flexibility with the job. Physical nature of the job can easily lead to injuries if you are not careful. Lots of old guys retire with wore out, broken down bodies. home late and never see your family. lots employees here get divorces.

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...
