Pros

Ok benefits, gym, cafeteria, kuerigs. Ok pay. You do not go out to peak.

Cons

Being an admin here basically means you do the work no one wants to do. It doesn't matter that you are "just an admin" you will be asked to handle questions, situations, and reports above your paid grade because you "own" the reports you do. Mind you we aren't properly trained on the purpose of each report or explained what they are for. You are only acknowledged when you make a mistake. Admins are treated as the low of the low even though you are normally helping everyone. We aren't even given laptops but contact workers or interns, temp employees are given laptops. As an admin you first accrue your discretionary time however after a certain time you get it at the beginning of the year although your vacation is still accrued. Everyone above you gets to arrive and leave at their leisure. Using work time to go to the gym while you have to sit at your desk and arrive before everyone and usually leave after. The location for the corporate office is horrible. There is some management who let their employees leave work earlier to beat the traffic but that is if you have a laptop and /or you are under certain management teams. I don't feel there is much development for admins. High divorce rate.

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...
