Your experience to make that determination is what, exactly? Some people griping on the internet?
Everything is a matter of perspective.
At UPS, just like SWA or DAL or UAL or FDX, you will have a better quality of life if you live in domicile. If you commute, palatable schedules become fewer and changes to those scehdules more significantly impactful. If you're junior, your palatable choices will be fewer than if you are senior. At our rate of hiring, looking at our projected retirements in coming years, one shouldn't be junior for very long...
Express integrators fly at night, and a junior pilot is going to do exactly that. If that isn't your cup of tea, then gut it out until you can hold day flying or international trunk flying, or you might consider employment elsewhere that is better suited to the preferences of you and your family. We're lucky right now that SO MANY people are able to change employers to better their individual situation.
This job ain't for everybody...but it is a damn good job.
