UPS reviews

Few promotion opportunities for Supervisors, Managers, or Directors - terrible upward mobility. There is a huge glut of Managers and Directors that have been around forever --- making it challenging to move up unless someone dies. Culture is old-school. While hours are not long, you better be at your desk between 8am-5pm. Count on a max 2%-3% raise every year, even if you were an awesome performer. Career development process is almost entirely useless. If you are career motivated, UPS is not the place for you. If you're looking for an easy 8-5 job and little responsibility given the pay, UPS is the place for you.

Hourly pay is pretty low for the amount of labor put in. Management relies too much on the package handlers and thus becomes visibly upset at workers who really didn't do anything wrong. Also, attempts to solve problems by using logistical figures instead of common sense and real life scenarios. New benefits package kicks in after 6 months of working and one year for family. When economy tanks, job security is low and minimal hours are worked. To solve overtime problems, they hire dozens of seasonal help to help handle the winter workload but seasonal help is clueless and inexperienced so it ends up being more of a problem.
