UPS reviews

The internal red tape and corporate gas lighting is a lot sometimes. The corporation is going through a "transformation" that has made folks wonder about their future at UPS, and question their loyalty over the years (jobs are being cut with little fanfare). The "transformation" also makes it clear that our real customers are stockholders, not shippers. As with many corporations, decisions are made by executives who don't have to use their own services and haven't had boots on the ground in years and are out of touch with the reality of the day-to-day of most of their employees. Internal mobility is limited, and employees who express interest in moving to other departments are sometimes "blacklisted" in their current department. Salaries in some departments are some of the lowest across the industry, which is supposed to be countered with other "perks" (like the management incentive program) but it often doesn't pan out that way.

People in management are more greedy than logical, have no control over their emotions, and treat people inhumanely (causing workers to quit/ not come into work, which causes staff shortage). Sexism and sexual harassment is rampant (among upper management and coworkers) and ignored/ laughed at when brought up. Will lie to new hires to manipulate them into working faster even when dangerous (and will blame them/ fire them if injured). Horrible working environment that makes the actual work (which is not that bad once you get used to it) more difficult than it has to be. You just basically need to watch out for yourself, stick with your fellow coworkers, and use your union reps when needed. And don't trust any supervisors - some are kind and chill, but are pressured/bullied by upper management to abuse their workers.
