Pros

Good pay, great benefits, even for part-time (25-30 hrs/week), fun people

Cons

Lack of communication (i.e. What's the proper procedure?); disorganized--never know when your start time is, which changes on a whim, even after you left the building; lack of support--management not around much to help/train/advise; insubordinate, mean, and disrespectful employees who refuse to do their jobs correctly and try to get their bosses in trouble just for doing their job properly (They are unionized/entitled/overpaid/bored); it's impossible to fire or even discipline an employee no matter what they do; their "zero tolerance" policy against harassment (sexual or discriminant) doesn't apply; outdated documentation/procedures; hundreds of bare bones software that was probably created in the 80s and doesn't communicate with other software; very little training, especially when it comes to handling unionized employees; I could go on and on, but I'll close with I resigned 14 weeks ago and still haven't gotten my accrued vacation days paid out, plus my boss and his boss both said I had 6 days+ accumulated, but their boss says I only have 2. If you look at Reddit, you see that this vacation payout/earning thing is a common game they play. Plus, the two-year-old building we worked in is literally falling apart and the equipment doesn't work.

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...
