Pros

Being hired as a seasonal Driver Helper is a great way to get your foot in the door at UPS if that's something your interested in. If you get hired on as full time employee, they have great benefits to match the pay as well.

Cons

Its a very physical job as you are on a tight schedule to get packages delivered during the busiest time of the year for the shipping and mailing industry. With that being said, you are pretty much on the go for you entire shift so you are not able to stand for a minimum of 5 hours straight then this is not a well suited job for you. Depending on the location you work out of, management could be a bit more organized and work on communication skills with not so much the people under them but more so with each other.

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...
