Pros

good daily work out, weekly pay, 401k, union

Cons

extremely hot inside loading trucks.. add 10*-12* degrees to the outside temp. only one ten min break which is actually 8 mins cause you have to be back in your area at 2 mins to time of your 10 min break being over. No origination at all on how the packages come to you down the slide and nothing to protect you from getting hit in the face or wherever when the packages start coming . It consistently boxes on the floor to the point where you cant get out the truck with out climbing or stepping on the boxes which we are not supposed to do.

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...
