Poor - Package Handler UPS Employee Review

Company offers top wages, fringe benefits among the top in the industry, a retirement pension fund, a 401K, opportunity to purchase company stock, ( the parent company's stock or UPS) reasonably fair work environment

Because it is a union operated company, supervision is a stickler for minor errors, the work is hard and occasionally having to pick all the freight on the floor to sort, palletize, shrink-wrap and rout it to it's proper destination trailer

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!.

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...
