Pros

Solid, efficient company, ok compensation, chance for advancement if you can put up with the hard work and huge amount of hours required to get any recognition. Promotions are hard to come by but they do try to promote based on performance, so hard work does pay off. Since the focus is on performance, there is less bias (in my opinion) against gender, race or other common areas of work bias.

Cons

very demanding, lots of hours, not tolerant of mistakes. union employees are given better treatment than non-union. The Teamsters fight (and win) to keep employees jobs that deserve to get fired; ie, thieves, assaults, drugs, poor attendance, poor performance, poor attitudes. Management employees lose their jobs for poor results and when they try to address the problem employees they dont get backed.

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...
