Pros

Always Overtime, whether you want it or not. Outdoors. Benefits (if you manage to make union, which is unlikely)

Cons

They don’t care about you in the slightest. No degree requirements attracts a certain quality of coworkers. Overworked. Justified with high pay. If you have any semblance of intellect, you’ll feel undervalued. They exercise control over you with bs policies. For example “SPORH” aka stops per on road hours is a tactic they use to legitimize running you into the ground. You must meet the SPORH average daily to be kept as an employee. Your body will ache, which is why they have such an attractive benefits package since you’ll need it when your body starts breaking down. Glorified slave labor. Takes advantage of people with no socioeconomic mobility. Any self respecting person with any capacity to do anything else should stay away.

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...
