UPS reviews

Heavy packages , trailers are hot inside ( even with the fan blowing) , inconsistent work schedule. Union dues and taxes . You become a driver based on seniority and if there are positions available in your building. In my opinion loaders and unloaders should receive more pay than small sorters.

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.
