Pros

Good healthcare and benefits due to union. Option to work more if you want. Over time pay if you work more then 40 hours a week. I didn't struggle to transition to gave yard

Cons

Awful training. Receive 2 days of training then expected to work as fast as employees who worked their longer. Madagment keeps permoting the people they don't like, so you might struggle with them or you might get a supervisor who dosen't know how to do your job or their own job. Inconsistent start times. Poor comuncastion between madagment and you. 90 porbastion (3 months) before reciving union benefits or could file a complaint towards how you were treated during training. Maybe be given too many truck that you can handle then given a hard time for not doing them all perfectly. They say 8am as end time. More like 9am or 10am. You finish when your trucks leave. You may get a supervisor who is very bad at running their belt. Say good bye to a social life or personal life if you are someone who requires more sleep.

Pros

THE DRIVERS! they were so nice. Not afraid to give advice, I really liked the drivers, the only ones I had contact with. All were good at their job, etc

Cons

Cold. So this may be only part of the country, but omg, I would have to get paid $100 an hour to work basically your whole shift in 30 or below weather. Before calling me wuss, ask if your winter experience is segments of running to warm place to warm place or hrs in the cold.

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...
