Pros

Compensation, benefits, outside work, knowing that I am giving the sole responsibility on a daily basis to achieve a certain task and goals. The pay is probably the best in the industry and you can't beat the workplace atmosphere., especially if you have a rural route where you get to see alot of the country. UPS pays for our health and welfare ang generally the coverage is good. It is one of the only jobs I know of where you are giving a set amount of work at 9 am and told to git-r-done and do not have to watch the clock till 5 pm. You run your route and when your finished (sometimes after 9pm) you take it home.

Cons

Long hours, very demanding goals, hard to get days off , or get off early for family events such as childrens programs, graduations, an occasional childs sporting event ect.

Pros

Union stewards are the most helpful people of all time. Take care of yourself.

Cons

Some supervisors will pressure you to work faster so they can be done at a certain time. inconsistent break times. computer will not clock you in until the sort time so don't clock in early.

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...
