Great environment with hard working individuals but better management and trainers needed
Service Provider (Former Employee), Toronto, ON – January 15, 2013
Pros: help from co-workers
Cons: long hours
At this job i was responsible daily for delivering packages doing at least 90 stops a day. Ups delivery drivers experience a lot of busy days and sometimes its so busy and hard to get all packages delivered we cant even take lunch at times. I've learned a lot more about defensive driving and i guarantee that anyone who has done this job before or currently – more... doing this job is a profession driver. The company does a good job on training employers to become a professional driver but they dont do good enough with training employees on how to get the job done. – less

Healthy Working Environment
Customer Service Representative, Freight GBS (Current Employee), Cañada de Calatrava, CM – January 3, 2013
Pros: provides incentives and bonuses whenever goals are met.
Cons: from time to time there are mandatory over time(s) work are asked from the employees to render.
Working in UPS is a learning experience that directly attends to the needs of individual customers and corporate accounts when it comes to courier and shipment requirements.
Our management in UPS is very supportive of their employees. They even pinpoints employees that are qualified for promotion and even provide training for them to qualify them to – more... their desired position.
Working environment and culture are very conducive and promotes camaraderie, team work and professionalism among co-workers.
The hardest part of the job is when one is unable to satisfy a customers' needs and wants. But in the long run, there are sufficient work around in order to assist these types of customer(s).
Of course, the most enjoyable part of the job is when your receive a commendation from a very satisfied customer. Whenever they would ask for a supervisor and would give commendation for a job well done in supporting them. These things gives us a very light feeling with in the hearts of the employees. – less

Great People, disorganized dispatch.
Delivery Person (Former Employee), Richmond, BC – December 31, 2012
I loved the people I was woking with: what a great bunch of guys.
We worked hard and had a great time in doing so.

The only issue that arose was with pay. A coworker of mine worked at UPS for over a month and didn't receive a single paycheque so he had to leave.

Productive and fun work place with very high chance of moving forward.
Walker/Package and Bag Handler (Former Employee), Montréal, QC – December 19, 2012
Pros: short hours
Cons: able to lift 85lbs.
First half of the day is spent walking to deliver and pick up packages in an assign area.
The second half is spent helping the driver to make and pick up packages. Some load and unloading trucks. Always Accountable to client and Management in ensuring that client's expectation are met. Always enjoy a few laughs with co-workers before and after work. – more... The hardest part of the job was getting your feet through the door (getting the job).

Easy bird gets the worm
Warehouse Associate (Former Employee), Riverside, CA – December 5, 2012
Pros: great employees, benefits are excellent
Cons: early shift hours, no way of getting extra hours (until holidays)
Now this job is no laughing matter, postal service has to be 100% to keep communication afloat. Being a package loader (loading trucks) is a strict, extremely organized and dangerous job.

Dozens and dozens of packages run through the mail service everyday, getting them to it's humble home as quickly as possible is a tricky task. Packages could be heavy – more... that your body could ware off if you're going to be dedicated to the team and move up in business. – less

Great team environment
Package Handler (Former Employee), Gardena, CA – November 30, 2012
Pros: exercise while working
Cons: long hours
A typical day at work involved working and delivering. I learned how to work in a timely manner. My co-workers were always very helpful. The hardest part of my job was being away from my family for holidays but the most enjoyable part of my job was being able to get my family the things they wanted.

Slightly difficult to get to work.
Office Administrator (Current Employee), Burlington, ON – October 23, 2012
Very difficult location to get to work. Many routes are jammed at the expecated time of arrival.

Co-workers were fanominal, management was okay but at times be-littled staff.
I have never had a manger tell me "good luck" when requesting help for heavy lifting. Unfortunately I have to stretch my work load on a daily basis to stay busy or continuously – more... find work for myself to get through the day. Salary is not something you can survive off of on your own either. – less
