Pros

Pay is good for drivers and decent for management. Though with salary comes the working management 10-15 hours a day sometimes. There is an annual bonus for full time management but during cost savings expect lower management to get half but upper management will still get theirs.

Cons

Typically complete chaos for management. Planning from corporate levels are always off on what packages will arrive and how many drivers you will need to deliver them which typically results in drivers working 13 hours and management having to figure out how to get everything delivered. The company typically functions on "just enough" resources. Barely enough drivers, barely enough trucks in order to cost save. Cost saving to the company means making driver and management work longer hours and refusing to staff more drivers. There is serious micromanagement. Division managers think they are the only ones who can make things work correctly. At center level management you are not trusted to make any significant decisions. Money is the push and anything, everything and everyone will be sacrificed to that end. Plenty of mismanagement at the higher levels and you will be expected to "make it work."

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...
