Pros

Great benefits! Stock contribution (note it does take five years to earn 2009 contribution--you get 20% each year). They promote within the company. They attempt to not lay off as much as possible--job security.

Cons

It is militaristic environment. The culture is a bore. Very operational driven. Many meetings that do not get a lot accomplished. Involved in many philanthropies, which require donations (strongly urged and noted). The longer you have been with company more opportunities to move up. Long hours are required. And low pay in comparison to industry standard.

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...
