Pros

Loved the people I worked with.

Cons

Unreasonable expectations for non-union management staff with the unending cost cutting to remain competitive with a union workforce. Long hours were normal and peers would shame you if you were sick. Scheduling vacation was unfair to anyone with a shorter length of service. Higher management in your department could schedule 5 weeks of vacation before the schedule was routed to everyone below in hierarchy until the person with least amount of years was left with literally one option for a week of summer vacation. Ridiculous and toxic environment.

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...
