Pros
the best thing about working for ups is the pay and benefits. They are hard to beat even though the job is physically demanding. Peak season is the hardest time of year . If you like driving alot and do like the satisfaction of getting something accomplished every day then it is fine. meeting people from all different backgrounds and work enviroments is also cool. For some reason people are attracted to that brown uniform and are usually very friendly. The retirment benefit are very good if you can make it that long. When you are delivering you are pretty much left alone
Kontras
Management has a us against you mentallity. I realize that we are a union company but they pit driver against driver, and manager against manager all the time. They can be very unrealistic in there goals and really do not care to understand the driver side of the story. The hours can be very long and it is difficult if you have a family because you do not know what time you may be home. I would not recommend this job if you have a family or need to take time off unexpectedly. The temperature extremes are sometimes hard to get use to.
