Pros

Regular drivers are decent lads and will help you however they can.

Cons

Integrad..... Like military school. Uniform inspections, polished boots, shirts ironed and must have sharp creases that would shave a hairy man in 20 seconds.. The job itself..... Long long hours, management don't give a crap how long you work for once you deliver every single parcel and pick up every request that's sent to you regardless of where you are on your route.... If you do 100 stops you'll be expected to do 110 the next day, without any thanks or recognition, but beware the day you can't complete all your stops.... You'll be hauled over hot coals to demand answers as to why you failed the company and didn't deliver everything... I lasted 2 months with this and left as soon as I found another job. Management will big up the company, the job etc but if you are seriously considering a position here find a driver and ask them what they really think as they will tell you the truth... Money is also rubbish for the hours you are expected to work.

Pros

Great union support if you manage to qualify; excellent benefits for self and family; max out pay in 4 years

Cons

After graduating from UPS Integrad School, the training you get at the center you work in is horrible. You ride along with your trainer on day 1; you drive half the day on day 2; you drive the entire day by yourself with your trainer with you on day 3; you are sent out on your own by day 4 to sink or swim. You get an assigned route, but you are responsible for learning the area yourself, and the stops vary day to day. They do very little to ease you into the role, and will disqualify you at any time if they deem you "can't cut it". The guy on my route was shocked at the loads I got on my first day driving, saying not even seasoned drivers get this. Plus there is favoritism on who they work with and try to keep on versus not. Can't ever really prove racial bias, but center is very non-diverse, with the only minorities there having been with the company 10+ years, longer than the entire management staff currently there. I'm real curious to see what data they have to show just cause for some of their firing if you compare routes, package loads, and timeframe to complete deliveries between other trainees.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. There is a 20 word minimum in this "Pros" section box, so I have added this sentence due to UPS offering nothing else.

Cons

Employees are nothing but a tool to be abused. Work life balance will not exist. 10 hour days minimal, have to ask for an 8 hour day ahead of time.You could skip your breaks and lunch to try to get done early only to be told to go help another driver for another hour or more. If you don't mind being unable to make plans after work m-f, and never seeing your family, this job is for you.
