Pros

Salary is ok. Solidarity among same level colleagues makes you feel quickly part of a team. Although work procedures are pretty well thought out you still are given room to implement improvements. The company forces you to think in solutions at minimum costs which in turn calls on you using your creativity. It's a place where you can be yourself. As long as the numbers are in the green you can do whatever you want.

Cons

Every penny must be justified up to the craziest detail and needs approval by to many managers makes the company very bureaucratic. Some warehouses have very questionable working conditions with minimal maintenance. A lot of hard manual labour leads to relatively high absenteeism. Very top down oriented military style management is more and more being implemented by corporate (us).

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...
