Pros

You could double shift after 30 days.

Cons

Getting past 30 days was hard and making it harder was the fact there was no AC in the trailers or facility. I consistently I was interrupted my supervisors when I was in a good grove too. I did something that caused me to leave that I completely was due to dydration and heat exhaustion. I had an experience with UPS in Los Angeles as a driver's assistant and that was much better than the job in Texas. If I work again at UPS, I look forward to working for UPS in Los Angeles where the temperature is better. The heat exhaustion though is definitely making me wish a measurement passed where if it is 80 degrees or higher the employees do not have to work and still receive the income for the full day. I also did not like how they sometimes would not check in to see if I needed a break.

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...
