Pros

Decent pay (compared to minimum wage)-9.50/hour Good growth potential Union (after 30 days on the job) Benefits Lots of hours (during holiday season)-some weeks you will work 50 hours Off on Weekends (Saturdays optional) Very simple work day (for the most part you do the same thing every single day)

Cons

8-9+ hours of back breaking work per day Usually odd hours (midnight 'til around 8AM, some days later) Little to no communication from upper management Inconsistent work days (Some days will be very busy, others very, very slow) Union (after 30 days on the job) Occasionally messes up Over Time pay Boring work Some managers are dicks, others are cool. Way too often short handed on workers, sometimes do the job of 2-3 people. Only one 10 minute break per day (no lunch break). Very simple work day (for the most part you do the same thing every single day)

Pros

You can make a good living if you dont mind putting the hours and the B.S. You can have a good experience in Package if U.P.S was to stay off your back and let you do your job. I had a good time out on the route, but hell in morning and coming back at night.

Cons

They are never happy with amount of work you do. Everything is your fault as the driver, they wont go after part-timers, cause they dont care.. They preach safety, when all that matters is stops per hour. They micro-manage too much. In feeder we are told we cannot stop to use the bathroom, even if its an to hour drive. In package they lie all the time, you cannot get a straight answer from them about how many stops you have on your truck.
