Is UPS a good company to work for?

Yes, UPS is a good company to work for. Delivering packages for the United Parcel Service (UPS) has many benefits.

You don't need a formal education to work for UPS, only a high school diploma or equivalent, a valid driver's license, and a clean driving record.

Here are some other reasons UPS is a good company to work for:

• Employee benefits

  When working for UPS, you get great employee benefits, including a health insurance plan.

  UPS knows that their delivery drivers and warehouse workers do a lot of physical activity when on the job. That's why they offer health insurance plans with 0$ premiums, meaning you don't have to pay for your health insurance policy when you work for UPS.

  Another great benefit is you get paid vacation days. As soon as you start working for the company, you are eligible for one week of paid vacation per year. And the longer you work for UPS, the more paid vacation time you accrue.

  Not every company rewards loyalty this way, and if you make working for UPS your permanent career, you know you will get a lot of paid vacation.

  Other employee benefits include:

  • Up to 18 personal sick days per year.

  • UPS option days. These are days you can choose not to attend work.

  • Pension plans.UPS contributes $23,000 to each of its full-time employees every year.

  • You can choose a traditional pension plan or a 401(k).

  • Tuition assistance.

  UPS offers comprehensive and generous benefits packages to its full-time employees.

• Part-time employee benefits

  You might think that all the previously mentioned great benefits are only for full-time employees, which would be incorrect. Most companies don't offer many employee benefits to part-time workers, but UPS does.

  Working part-time allows you to earn vacation, paid time off, and option days. The only requirement is to work a certain amount of part-time hours to receive these benefits.

• Employee compensation

  Some UPS drivers can earn salaries of up to $92,000 per year. These tend to be legacy employees who have worked for the company for a long time. However, on average, a full-time UPS driver makes $63,328 annually.

  Working for UPS in certain states and cities can also result in high salaries. New drivers tend to make around $23 per hour in terms of wage.

  And after driving with the company for four years, the average UPS driver earns around $42 per hour.

  In addition to pay, many UPS employees receive additional contributions from the company, up to $50,000 per year, in the form of health care benefits, pensions, and welfare.

• Extra perks of UPS

  You get to interact with people daily. Every day is different when you're a UPS worker. You also get to develop good relationships with fellow citizens in your communities and meet new people.

And finally, if you are a UPS driver, you get to be your boss. You're on your own most of your work day and just need to focus on your route.
