What is a typical working day like at UPS?

Good hourly pay for entry level work, strong union protection, reliable weekly schedule, opportunities to move up, and a great workout without needing a gym.

Very physically demanding every shift, inconsistent staffing can increase workload, early morning/late night hours disrupt sleep, communication from supervisors can be unclear, and peak season becomes extremely stressful.

Work from home Relax work Can Grow quickly

US shift which is core night shift

Decent pay and benefits, including health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off.

24 hour operation may require night shift rotation and weekend work. Minimum pay increases.

Great tuition reimbursement, first or third shift

Hard to get OT, stressful and fast paced environment

Fairly straight-forward, work outdoors, choose shift availability, get exercise. Most drivers I worked with were very friendly and pleasant to work with

Unreliable schedule; not informed of shift availability until the morning of the shift. Communication with office was poor at times with shifts being cancelled after being confirmed Changing location of shift and drivers can be good or bad

Rate of pay, occasional employee appreciation through receiving snacks during the shift

Low moral, very hard to come across coworkers willing to be team players, only some supervisors willing to help when getting slammed

I like how I can get paid to work out.

Not every job is as physically active as the other. Since UPS started competing with Amazon, the company has gone downhill, and employees are starting to get treated like those at Amazon, even though we're unionized!! The warehouse is dusty and dirty AF. If you have sensitive skin, you will break out in rash or severe acne. The warehouse often smells like diesel fuel and/or paint thinner. I'm sure there are plenty of microplastics floating around. The supervisors rarely compliment your work ethic. They are not shy to complain (i.e. coming back from your 10 MINUTE break 1 min late, talking to your coworker while simultaneously working, etc). Supervisors will watch you like a hawk while working, which makes you feel like a slave on the plantation. Supervisors care more about their bonus check, which is based on employee productivity, than the employee themselves (They will wait until the end of your shift to send you on break if there is high volume, to prevent the belt from stopping - this is why if there is a jam or a nasty leak (i.e. manure) they will yell at everyone to get back to work rather than making sure the mess is cleaned up). Everything is done backwards/without logic at UPS. Supervisors run around with their walkie talkies like chickens with their heads cut off, yet UPS lacks communication and organization. They threaten employees about layoffs due to "low volume" even though it is higher than peak season, then proceed to send people home 20 mins after they arrived, only to get slammed in the stomach with 50+lbs for the next 3.5 hours until supervisor finally lets you go on break. The union feels nonexistent, yet they take a large portion from your check every month and at the start of your employment at UPS.

*$23 with overtime pay after 8hrs *Plenty of work during peak

*Base pay should be higher for what we do *Forced to pay union dues but you’re not technically in union with no benefits *Told to come in earlier then your scheduled time but can’t clock in until your shift starts so essentially working for free *Extremely hard to get in full time or become a permanent driver. Some seasonal drivers have been waiting years and still not hired essentially just dangling the carrot!

Good Hourly, Great benefits, Physical activity, Opportunity for promotion, Short shift, Mostly independent work

Uneven distribution of work, Heavy lifting, poor morale,

Great and very early work shift

Back pain and that's it
