UPS reviews

I want to preface this by saying as an adult, no matter how much effort I put in, there's always room for improvement. I'm also a benevolent person. So when this happened to me, I didn't know what to do. Details follow below: I was hired into Corporate as an analyst - and I'm very grateful UPS gave me the opportunity to build my future. Few weeks in, at our 3rd or 4th team meeting, one of the managers told all Asians to go sit in a corner. I was told he was joking and my supervisor advised me to report it to HR. Because I was inexperienced (work & life), benevolent, and only two months with the company, I didn't want to blemish a ten-year tenure. Little did I know that there was a historical pattern of discrimination and racial insensitivity at the company. Before I left, I found that the director (retiring) had a slew of racially-based complaints against him. There was also a time in the past where UPS saw a trend of Asians leaving the company. HR executives coined this phenomena as the "Asian Exodus". The whole ordeal was very depressing to go through. The team meeting shenanigans also embarrassed me in front of all my coworkers. For those out there reading, I think the company has made changes, but I still wanted to share my experience.

Granted not all departments are the same; many are run in the old fashion way: command and control. Your opinion/suggestions/ recommendations are never heard; get used to getting orders and execute on them while being micromanaged. There is no trust in your competencies even when you have more experience and education than your boss. If you enjoy having zero career development opportunities (the company invests $0 in training to keep up with the times – unless you are in upper management and of the right skin-tone), a yearly salary increase less than inflation, and having to pay $2.19 for a coffee (plus $.20 for the to-go cup), then this is the place for you!
