Pros

I currently work at United Parcel Service (UPS). United Parcel Service (UPS) offers a secure and stable job. I am not worried about job loss during this economic recession. There is always plenty of work to do. There are always ton of new people to meet. There is always a ton of experienced partners to guide you for ward. The work day is never dull. There is also always some one around to help you out. Lunch breaks can be very generous depending on how your days are going. There is also quite a bit of freedom on the road. Job requires one to be very self motivated.

Cons

The hours are dreadfullly long. You will never expect to find a 40 hour work week. Work life balance is always at a minimum. They typically station you quite a distance away from your home, which leads a long, disatisfying commute to and from work. The process of relocation is dreadful unless your nose is "super brown." Management is always driven by numbers, which at times seem very unachievable. Senior management also forgets where they came from when it comes to priorities with the immediate job description (ie. driving a number on a report which is on the bottom of the departments priority list.)

Pros

THE DRIVERS! they were so nice. Not afraid to give advice, I really liked the drivers, the only ones I had contact with. All were good at their job, etc

Cons

Cold. So this may be only part of the country, but omg, I would have to get paid $100 an hour to work basically your whole shift in 30 or below weather. Before calling me wuss, ask if your winter experience is segments of running to warm place to warm place or hrs in the cold.

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...
