[QUOTE="Dragon, post: 1353198, member: 561"] Big Brown 609 or any other person considering management - Management at UPS is what you make of it. When I put the pro's and con's together, the pro's far out outweigh the con's. Retirement age has changed for most UPS drivers due to changes in the pension plan in the respective local. In my local - the one I will receive benefits from, the retirement age has been moved to 62. Do you really want to drive a truck or work a 22.3 job at 62? I can retire at 55 or wait until I am 65. Check your local and see when you can retire and draw enough benefits to live on. Last retiree from the union here had to take in a renter to make ends meet. Work life balance - I have yet to miss one of my kids events that I wanted to attend (even as a supervisor), there are many more. Healthcare/Disability - You pay for part of it (like the rest of society), If I go out on disability I get 100% of my pay for 2 months and then its reduced after that. If you go out on a disability how much do you bring in? 0 is the amount, your local may have some disability but its only around 15% of your weekly pay. Basically - No Work No Pay. Job Security - I don't care what others have posted, you cannot get fired at the drop of the hat. Center Managers, Division Manager, District Managers - if you have ever worked at another job then know that every manager is different. I have never been threatened, felt threatened or in fear of my job because of my boss or boss's. They all come with different styles and you learn to work with those styles. One last thing...this week is a short work week, how late will you be working on Thursday? I know how late I will be working....(another benefit). [/QUOTE]
