Pros

UPS provides great entry level management opportunities. WIth relative ease one can achieve p/t management promotion and begin to develop skills that will assist you as you transition into your career.

Cons

UPS expects p/t supervisors to permanently stay in their positions. Many employees are lured out of the union into p/t supervisor status only to discover years later that this was an unwise choice. If you have no desire of attending college do not accept a p/t supervisor position as this will almost certainly guarantee that you remain a p/t employee indefinitely. Also, many high seniority union employees make terrific wages while f/t management receives mediocre compensation juxtaposed to the extended hours (60 +) work weeks they endeavor.

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...
