12: UPS Employee Reviews

You will be greeted warmly and enthusiastically by people in your company. I can say that we have a very good camaraderie at work but work itself was taxing enough that people didn't have time to explore other things and do other activities. It was a great experience working with UPS because it provided me a platform to enhance my critical thinking skills and creativity with sales and promotion. The hardest part of the job was really the hours that we had to work because it was really unhealthy, and a lot of people were becoming obese and sick. But other than that, processes and the way things were handled were really professional and outstanding. I enjoyed having to talk with customers in an efficient manner because it meets the goals and we have happy customers!

Pros

free coffee, lots of bonuses

Cons

night shifts, no physical activities

Average place to work at

Operations Officer (Former Employee) - Tullamarine VIC - 1 June 2021

I got my job at UPS and lasted just over a year. Management had no clue how to run a team, constant changes in everyone's job roles and was never trained properly from the beginning. People leaving regularly and due to that more work was piled onto the workers instead of hiring more people to cover the work load. Very very dull, boring and sad environment. You are just a number there and no one cares about your well being. I went to HR for advice on how I can communicate well with my manager and talk about her behavior towards me and others and they send me a "beyond blue" link. In other words "I don't care about what you are saying, go seek some professional help" I was disrespected multiples times by both managers. My hard work was never appreciated or noticed by my managers, only when I left it was. I would not recommend this place, no matter how much they are willing to pay you, it is not worth the stress. My advice to anyone experiencing this right now at a job, don't be afraid to apply for other jobs and leave! I have left and work somewhere else and cannot be any happier.

Pros

My team were amazing, long lunch break and decent pay.

Cons

Explained in the review.

Hated it

would be a better job if every one was on same playing field

Courier Driver (Former Employee) - Driver Qld - 25 March 2016

I did not mind working here, but there is no fairness, between the good workers and the ones who did not work, they seem too get away with not doing what was required, even though management says other wise.

Pros

bonus if all KPI's met, but its shared amongst the non - workers as well, meaning even if they don't met there KPI's they get it as well, for it should be individual KPI's.

Cons

the workers are expected too do more while the non workers, get away with murder.
