UPS reviews

Tuition reimbursement is only $2,500 a semester. I worked at UPS in another city where they reimburse tuition in full. $2,500 is still nice though. I work the midnight shift, so active labor in the middle of the night is rough, but it's what I signed up for. Don't work here if you cant do 5 hours of nonstop, physically intensive labor. You're on a probationary period for your first 34 days, during which you have people interrupting your workflow to sign a booklet acknowledging your package count and mis-load count for the previous night. Seems completely unnecessary and counterproductive for those who actually get their job done well. It's loud and there's no music.

Their training method (three days) doesn't reflect reality. You start paying union dues since day 1 but aren't an actual union member until after 90 days. Even if you work six hours you probably won't get more than one 10 minute break unless you demand it. You have to wait one whole year to get benefits. They send you home if there is not enough work (usually Fridays). High turnover, because it sucks. Breathing dirty air from dirty trailers (probably not good for lungs).
