UPS Reviews in New York City, NY Area

Pros

Enjoyed working by myself. The freedom to do my route they way I wanted. Had a good loader. Made my day easier

Cons

Pushed very hard by management. Good finish times were not good enough. Truck to be organized better. Keep drivers in familiar routes. Need to have better more accurate communication between management.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay loaders more so they do their job better. More organized truck means quicker deliveries and less stress for drivers and overall better work experience.

Pros

Part time job that is not waitressing or retail, no education or experience required, just physical strength

Cons

Very dirty workplace - I got eye infections all the time and even ear infections even though I tried to be careful about taking care of myself. They just never clean out that building at all and all the package dust is unbearable.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay and benefits are pretty good. You can clock out at a reasonable time if you work fast and hard. Great company to work with.

Job can get tedious due to the constant lifting of packages. Sore arms and be prepared to be exhausted at the end of the day. Supervisors do put some pressure on you at times to get packages delivered. They are also sometimes rude.

Not much, the job is what it is, but it would be great if the supervisors weren't too demanding and allowed workers to work at a comfortable pace without constantly over-exerting themselves.

old school culture

salary is not great
don't care about employees happiness at work

Advice to Senior Management

I think that it would be good for the management to realize the people have both work and family reposonsibilities which require some flexibiltiy with your work. I found that people are UPS really cared about doing a good job, but most were generally unhappy because their personal life was suffering. Stop treating employees like children. They will be happier and work harder for you if you give them respect.

Pros

Job security, benefits and pension plan package, 401K retirement plan match, employee discount programs.

Cons

There is a lack of utilization of people's skills, there is no promotion by merit.

Advice to Senior Management

Look closer to your employees' strength and better utilize them.
