Pros

Benefits that now take a year to get. (I got them in 7 weeks) Tuition reimbursement

Cons

Managers yell for you to work faster but after you get in the union you can ignore them since they can't really do anything to you. General working environment seems extremely moody and short-tempered, not management for the most part but sorters and some fellow unloaders are always yelling and can be a pain to deal with. Cheap as hell. The safety BBQ that is held quarterly at best, consist of a can of pop, bag of chips, and two burgers grilled out back. It probably costs $2-3 a person and anytime anything else is proposed it costs too much even though it's 4 times a year at best and usually or once or twice. Also, they are so cheap that they don't supply pens to supervisors that have to do paperwork.

Pros

Easiest job Ill ever have for sure. They payed for my college which is nice. Working nights sucks but the actual work is easy.

Cons

Night shift sucks. Get used to it eventually but its not for everyone. Also a lot of people there that dont have any real life goals to do better than make $25 hr part time.

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...
