Pros

Benefits, advancement opportunities, great pay if you are there for years

Cons

Horrible pay starting out, Most days they ask if you want to take the day off unpaid AFTER you’ve already made the commute and clocked in, not enough hours available but still require you to be available from 9-5 and show up 5 days a week, making it impossible to get a second day job, pay is horrible for the amount of work you do, they sometimes clock you out before you clock out which makes it so you can’t see your total hours for that day and have no clue what your end time was, they may change your permanent start time to 10 mins after the sort starts without telling you so you basically work for free for 10 mins a day until you catch on, supervisors will do things like this because new people don’t know any better, they promote super young people to supervisor who don’t know anything and make our job harder by constantly moving us to different trailers just to send us back a minute later when our workload has then piled up

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...
