Pros

Very efficiently run company. No time to sit around or lean against a wall.

Cons

Pay is low, hours are short, paychecks are pathetic. It takes one year to get full benefits. If you start in November or December, you get no seniority until after January 1. They might even make you sign away that right if they want to keep you on.

Pros

Great benefits, you can work different shifts what work with your family schedule, especially if you have small kids.

Cons

Stressful lots of competition, limited promotion availability. You can have best education and still politics play the big roll. People start from the bottom and work their way up. You can wait 5-15 years till you get promoted to full time position.

Pros

It is an alright job if you are looking for seasonal work. It is also a great start if you are looking to work full time with UPS. Many drivers started out as a driver helper. Some drivers are fun to work with. In some cases the driver will pick you up from your house every day and you will end up delivering in your neighborhood.

Cons

Since the economy is in the tank and there are plenty of people looking for work, they lowered the pay for the position from around $11 to just above minimum wage. They make you pay union dues, but what is the point of joining the union when you are only working there for 1-6 weeks. Also, some centers would pay more for their driver helpers than others, even though the centers were 20 miles apart.
