UPS Reviews

Pros

-Great benefits especially considering it is a part time job
-Health insurance, dental, vision
-Tuition assistance
-Most people are given days off of work when they ask for them
-Can become a part-time manager pretty quickly (within a few months) if that is what you want to do
-If you have a good reason (college) and you have worked there long enough, it is possible to be transferred to one of the many other locations throughout the country

Cons

-The attitudes of the people you work with can vary greatly depending upon what area you are moved to. In one area you could be working mostly with hard working people that are easy to get along with and then be moved to another where most of the people find ways to work as little as possible and do nothing but complain.
-If you aren't already in pretty good shape, the job can be tough. It can take a few weeks to adapt to the job physically.
-If you are unlucky enough to have to work for a manager that is not very good, your will end up having to work even harder

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to govern by the word of Jim Casey and the UPS will continue to flourish for the next 100 years!

Pros

The Teamsters Union have negotiated good pay increases, insurance for part-time and full-time workers and a pension that will be received after retirement.

Cons

The work is very hard and the hours are long. Due to the long hours it is hard to make family functions.

Advice to Senior Management

Talk to the people that actually do the job before you make changes that make the job harder than it was before the changes were introduced.

Pros

Part time schedule multiple shifts to choose from. Full employee benefits for part time workers. Union supported job. Good hours during peak season of the year which is around the christmas holidays.

Cons

Warehouse position exposed to outside temperatures. Can be hard work if your body is out of shape. Must work regardless of weather forecast

Advice to Senior Management

Continue to improve workplace safety provide ear protection for workers. And additional safety measures.

Pros

Pay and benefits. Get to meet many wonderful people on route.

Cons

Overtime makes family life a challenge at times.

Advice to Senior Management

40 hours a week is all most of us need and want.

Pros

UPS is a very structured and organized. They provide relevant training, and the supervisors give effective feedback. They also have a good benefits.

Cons

One downside of working at UPS is your medical benefits do not begin until 6 months after employment, and your dental benefits begin a year after employment.

Advice to Senior Management

My advice to the leadership at UPS is to continue to be professional, provide employees with honest feedback, and keep safety as the first priority.

Pros

Well-run business. Good benefits and pay. Great short term work for those moving on to a career elsewhere, or long-term work for those capable of advancing to management.

Cons

Most positions are suitable for younger people. The line jobs are physical work, and workers are expected to perform like machines, which takes a toll on your body over the long-term. If you work there long-term and don't advance to management, your performance will decline with age, but you will be pressured to maintain time standards. So long term, best plan to move to a career elsewhere, unless you can advance to management or can successfully keep defending yourself from management pressure about time standards.

Pros

Benefits package, pay, hours, skills learned and employees.

Cons

Lack of upper management promotions, favoritism and being a male dominated company.

Advice to Senior Management

Mentor young management, develop and prepare them for upper management promotions.

Pros

The benefits are great as compared to other industries around here. The "promote within" is a plus if you wish to advance.

Cons

Wages for loaders are at 8.50 lower as compared to other local industries, regardless if you have a degree. Like I said you have to work your way up or be an external candidate with a degree applying for a supervisor position.

Advice to Senior Management

Recognitions to employees who are overachievers or excel at they're positions. A simple recognition will go along way, especially with moral.

Pros

Great promotion within. Hard work pays off. Good benefits. Tuition Reimbursement. Awesome pay for supervisors.

Cons

The hours. Physical nature of work.

Advice to Senior Management
