Pros

UPS used to be a decent place to work

Cons

The executive leadership has issued a mandatory "Return to Work" policy whereby everyone needs to be in the office 5 days a week. There are no exceptions (outside of individual IT contributors without direct reports and senior management that excuse themselves from the policies they put in place). Many people in major US cities travel almost 2 hours to get to the office. I believe this is part of a planned attrition strategy to reduce US workforce and increase presence in India where labor is cheaper. This 0 flexibility policy makes UPS one of the worst places I have ever worked and will make it nearly impossible to attract management talent. Additionally, these changes come in the midsts of mass layoffs. So in addition to coming to work 5 days a week, the workload has increased.

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...
