UPS reviews

I worked at UPS on and off for 8 years, as a seasonal pre-load worker, helper than finally hired full time permanent as a driver. After two years driving and being abused daily by management I had enough. Management makes the art of delivering packages harder than it is. I understand there are production numbers they want to hit but treating the employee like garbage is not going to achieve those goals. The best advice I was ever given by senior drivers that I did not take was do just enough to get by, nothing more nothing less. I'll never forget the day I realized management cared more about the package car and the packages than they did the driver. During an on car ride with my direct supervisor who made my life a living hell for no other reason because I was white (he told me so) and because he could. I walked off the job during my lunch hour and never looked back and couldn't have been happier about my decision.

A seemingly NEVER ENDING flow of heavy, and awkward packages coming down a conveyor belt for 3.5 hours straight.(a very short 10 min. break.) The belt has lots of flaws, so packages are CONSTANTLY jamming, falling off onto your feet and ankles. Not that I'm bothered by this, but you will leave with a new bruise every day GUARANTEED! Some workers get away with doing half the labor you do, making you want to stoop to their productivity level, but doing this only prolongs the end of your shift. Honestly, you receive little to no training your first couple weeks. You are literally tossed to the wolves. There are some employees that have been there for decades and will verbally blast you if do the slightest thing wrong (due to lack of training). some will help you but most will scream inaudible words at you like animals as if they were trying to express their seniority. 75% of management at this location expects you to have the knowledge of someone who's been there for some years already which is absurd to expect of a new hire. By far the biggest con is $11.00 an hour. God only knows how they get away with that garbage wage for what seems like legalized slave labor. Everyone will tell you they make up for it with the benefits they offer. Ill probably be using them when I get older.
