Pros

No human interaction unless I needed to ask a question or ask a customer to sign for a package. The comfort of driving my own vehicle was nice, plus they have 67c mileage reimbursement. Simply, stress free work with no micromanagement. My supervisor always answered the phone or called right back. The job is super straightforward. Flexible hours. Could easily swap packages with others to get more or less hours.

Cons

Training and hiring process was disorganized. I could have started work sooner if I just would have called and bugged them. It was the first year they were using an all online hiring system, and it definitely had some bugs. But once I started work, everything was smooth going. Hours weren't guaranteed, and sometimes I wound up with less than I was expecting to work which was frustrating. But overall, the great pay made up for that.

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...
