UPS reviews

Non union employees (supervisors, management) have to pay for their health benefits. UPS will try to get every ounce of work out of you that they can no matter what position you work. Especially out of part-time supervisors, package drivers, and part-time union employees working in the warehouse. If you go the package car driver route and you do not have a college degree many drivers start making money, and end up buying a house, a car, having kids exd. Then after a few years or more they end up hating their position, and become "trapped" at the company because they have bills, and no other experience to get another job without taking a pay cut. At the center I work at they have outdated equipment and won't fix broken equipment unless it is absolutely necessary. Because of the union everything is seniority based, so sometimes people who deserve the more skilled positions that pay more can get bumped from that job by someone who does not deserve the position but has more seniority. Some union employees will try to "play" the system, and use the union to get out of trouble. Once they get away with doing this a few times they think that they are invincible because the union will always protect them. As a result supervisors sometimes have trouble getting employees to follow instruction. Supervisors don't get payed enough money, and don't receive proper training. UPS does not offer full time employment for any entry level position. Starting pay rate for entry level positions is low. Upper management is greedy, and does not do whats best for the center.

It seemed to me the lack of following their own UPS company polices,- covered in 2 handbooks.Particularly in business pratices; changing the rules to make the sale numbers , or get the promotion. An overall lack of integrity internally particularly in the area of ;a lack of Human Resource ,professionalism, inappropriate conduct and questions . People being promoted although it appeared they had numbers - cheated, then cover up by management to save their appearance. Toxic environment back biting, gossip ,coupled with ambiguity , mixed messages,lack of open honest communication although they purported the opposite as well as favoratism towards those who went along with the manipulations.To a certain extent a type of brain washing about UPS the brand and discrimnation if you did not go alongwith every thing they proposed not business related and being a UPSER, what was required. i.e. being forced, it felt like to donate when you either didn't beleive the cause of didn't have the extra money to give.
