UPS Employer Reviews

Helping customers send their things somewhere. I learned how to properly wrap certain object so they wont get damaged in shipping and the basic travel time/cost/weight relation.

At UPS I was a loader. While this job description seems easy, it can be a very strenuous and fast paced job. The people there were great, so even though it was tough at times, it was still an enjoyable job.

As a UPS helper I would drive around in the delivery truck and help the driver to deliver packages. It was a fun experience for me as I got to see a lot of neighborhoods in New York that I had never been to before.

Fast paced environment. UPS has a good managing team as well as very flexible optional days to take request off. I know a lot of zip codes. it is a very positive place to work at.

all hazardous materials being loaded onto the truck were double checked and
labeled accordingly for safety measures of the driver
◘ Initiated proper use of the conveyer belt for sorting

Delivering packages to residents and business all around town.

I learned that providing great serice to customers makes the world a much better place. I enjoyed being able to bring happiness to others and delivering there packages in a friendly manner.

My typical day at work was working the evening shift, City Driver.

Learned that my Loads must be delivered on time.

Co-workers were pleasant/helpful

Making delivery loads on time.

It was a great working Union Job, to have the opportunity to drive for UPS.

I learned alot about safety during my time there and i enjoyed workin wit my coworkers . They have very strict rules but the shifts are very flexible only up to five hrs for parttime but only a ten min break. Involves alot of hard labor lifting up to 70lbs and however the weather is outside it feels almost exactly the same there. Exampl : if its 70 – more... degrees outside it will be about 80 inside and no air conditioning or if its 20 degrees it will be about 25 degrees no heat. – less

Generally the day started off by my making sure that all planes came in the night before. This to ensure that our vehicles were filled with that days deliveries. Next I'd create the 100-150 driver routs via our (DIAD) system, while downloading the prior days (DIAD) route delivery information. I'd assist in loading vehicles if necessary due to a high – more... volume of packages or a late plane.
I'd communicate with the customers in reference to any lost/stolen or miss routed packages. I'd locate the package(s) and delivering them personally if needed. I really learned how to lead. Being a supervisor and having 150 drivers you're responsible for daily; will teach a lot about yourself, and did so inherently.
Management was outstanding along with my co-workers. The hardest part of my job was the stress level at times. Especially between Thanksgiving and New Years every year. The most enjoyable part of my job was being so well compensated for our hard work. – less

This was a pretty easy job for a college student. I packed and shipped packages to various destinations all over the world. I learned valuable customer service skills as well as computer skills that will help me in the future. The environment and culture of this job was exactly what I wanted when I was looking for a part-time job while still in school. – more... Both the General Manager and store manager were very helpful and great people to work for. – less

unloading freight trucks keeping a 1,200 package per hour pase

I learned a great deal about business from working there. Learned about marketing, logistics, sales, customer service, graphic design. A typical day there ran the spectrum of all of those things. Wonderfully varied.

Employed lots of young, tech savvy people with innovative ideas.

Best part of the job was being able to constantly learn new things, – more... new procedures, new ideas, new technology. – less

As a Package Handler, I enjoyed my time with UPS. Although my primary responsibility was to unload trucks, I still became well-acquainted with most of the employees on my shift.

Bagged groceries, scanned peoples groceries, use the cash register, cut up deli meats and push baskets.
Learned the best customer services skills and Hard work.
Management was horrible no accountability.
Co-workers were enjoyable to work around.
Hardest part of the job was dealing with difficult customers.
Talking to people and making connections everyday.

This is a great job if you are not looking for a long term career. I would love to continue in this type work, however, there is no room to move up and advance in my career and pay.

Get to work at 8:15 to organize my truck so I would be ready to go at 9:00am to make sure early airs are delivered before 10:30am then continue with the rest of my deliveries then after 5:00 pick up time will not be done till 8:00pm. To have the best customer service I could possibly have is what I learned. Some of the management was the best and some – more... not so good. Very good co-workers team like atmosphere. Trying to make the on time deliveries without getting into an accident was the hardest. Seeing the customers happy to see their merchandise. – less

I really loved working for them. It was hard work but I loved it. I was a sorter for them and the hardest part was learning the zip codes for the states. The hours were only part time through.

Nothing negative to say. I've worked for UPS for a while and have enjoyed my time working for them. You cant beat the benefits.

The job was easy to perform and I learned a lot from the driver I worked with
