Pros

Pay is ok You’ll make friends There’s days where they will feed you lunch but these days are few and far between, maybe every month or couple months. Simple and straightforward job task.

Cons

Pay is decent but definitely not enough for the amount of work expected. Mandatory overtime If you do not meet time expectations you will be fired unless management likes you and trust me they’ll make it well known who is liked. Some employees do practically nothing and get special treatment even though they track productivity and this shouldn’t be an issue. supervisors and management can’t get along with each other and will talk smack about them to their own employees. They’ll put you in unfamiliar positions with absolutely no training that aren’t in the job description. They use the same devices from like 20 years ago so expect to have broken devices that will just stop working or act up when you’re trying to simply do your job, management will be annoyed and might even reprimand you like you’re the problem. Forced to work with uncooperative, rude or extremely slow coworkers who will slow you down, destroy hours of work and even down right sabotage your employment at the company. Worked with coworkers who were clearly on hard drugs and which is probably the only way they could keep sane working at this company. “Just go with it” mentality.

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...
