UPS is one of Americ's most hostile work environment. They don't care about employees customers or your packages. The have teams of bean counters figuring out ways to rip off their big customers like Sears. They have no products to sell or develop. They are a service only company, So they are always looking for ways to make moe money to fatten the wallets of the corporate execs! Beware of UPS ship elseware.
American workers just do not get it; the only product you have to sell UPS is manual labor, and the more high tech or efficient the hub is, the less of the product you sell they will need. You should be thankful your facility is low tech and old, that's why you're still employed. Also, machines do not complain, do not file workers comp or sexual harassment suits and do not badmouth their employer online.
wish i worked in this hub, sadly i work in 1 of the worsts hub in the whole country, Grande vista In Los Angeles Ca. bulk carts barely fit in the narrow hall ways, & lets not talk about technology, we do the work by hand, we have old cave man technology in there, & to top it all its a distributing hub witch means that we get all the damn packages that have to be deliver the next day, thats why we work Sunday 2 thursday i believe that its the only hub that works during the day from 10a to 3 or 4p
@lestat102786 You should try to work at the Harrisburg Hub! It is one of UPs's oldest hubs and it shows. There are too many high volume destinations that are still using roller lines that don't exactly roll.
@adrianroam95 Nope If It Was Revieled That They Werent Genuine Humans Then Places Like Fedex Would Start Having Humans Again And Claim They Were Still a Better Genuine Buisness
@mymanmyman666isdbest Uhhh. No. There must be tens of dozens of people moving packages onto the conveyor belts and making sure that they're face up getting paid $10-12 an hour. eliminating them and replacing them with machines would save a several hundred dollars an hour, and that adds up pretty quickly. It isn't any "less genuine", but jobs are lost.
Funny reading through a bunch of these comments on people freaking out about a package going off of the Tray around 1:02. Thats how a Tilt-tray sorter works. :P And from the looks of it, that tilt-tray sorter was one of them in the Secondary, so it probably fell into a bag.
@MAIMPORT good luck dummy,I hope you have deep pockets! Ups has alot of lawyers working for them! They will bleed your small time ass dry!You can't fight a co. worth 65 billion!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
@MAIMPORT we also crush 1000 of pkgs every night, they dont give a crap about their employees or quality its all high paced just get the pkg to its location it be great if less ppl use them, because they abuse the workers and the system the filthy CEO's get all the money will take away benefits from everybody fuk em
@cetnik03 Maybe you need to move to Louisville and get a job here. I read all these comments about how UPS sucks! "They work me too hard!" BLAH BLAH BLAH! What ever happened to hard work and a good work ethic. I've worked at UPS for 22 years and it is the best job I've ever had. I've work on the ramp but had to work 2 years in the small sort when I first went full-time and the one thing I've noticed is that all the whining is done by the laziest employees.
I agree with you. We knew taking this job (FT anyway) that it is not an 8 hour job, it is whatever UPS decides to shove in your vehicle. This is not the best job I've ever had, not even close, but it does have the best health and bennies - "here for the bennies not for the pennies"
@PGMEagle ...UPS would NOT make a good undercover boss show. Supervisors are not allowed to work because it is a Union job. Teamsters would be all over them, not to mention most of the supervisors are horrible workers who couldn't handle our work, so they became supervisors. I work in the Syracuse, NY hub and let me tell you, it looks nothing like this. Packages get jammed together and get destroyed all the time. This is the only high tech UPS.
damn... @ my center,there's only one main conveyor that runs the length of the building. With a shade under 40 delivery vehicles, it's an practically a rural outpost!
Well this Peak season is going to be hell...worse in years past. If you are not a member of the Teamsters....do so...ASAP! What's going on this season is just wrong! I got a feeling, come monday, I'll be loading up to 2,500 packages...by myself. They have not even hired any helpers for preload yet. WTF! and they bitch about PPH! We come in at 4 am. In years past we would be in at 2:30 am by this time. And they wonder why the trucks are not getting out of the building on time. Duh?
Ups is an inefficient operation. They should learn from Fedex. Fedex has no union but has better benefits better pay and better equipment to use. They treat us very well. UPS's moto is do the most with the least as possible. as long people continue to use their service and they make a profit they will continue to mistreat their workers and they don't care about turnover because people are just "bodies" if one leaves they can always replace them with another "body"

I'm sure our founder is rolling over in his grave! He believed in his workers as the foundation of the company. Well I guess that''s not the story now! The suits are more important?!
Worked at 16 different buildings, P-dale (atlanta) Staten Island & Spring Valley N.Y., and every building in N.J. except Bound Brook, and Mount Olive, but nothing like that looks like that,
Hey UPS, your commercials suck and your "Pay 'em for nothing" union sucks even more. FEDEX is the only company I will ever use. I have worked for you lame fucks and the way you toss packages around is the result of your unions and why they should be abolished off the face of the Earth. FUCK YOU UPS YOU SUCK!
So much nicer than my facility. Two conveyors for the unload, where we have guys who scan and place on top or bottom. Which the top comes down a certain distance to the bottom so it can reach the one conveyor in the mobile area where I work now loading from 3 to 4 trucks. I was unloading and scanning until they decided to train me to preload. And the minimum they want you to scan is 600 / 650 packages per hr.
@wcazes hah, 600-650 and hr? Wow that's slow. We're expected to move at a bare min of 1,000 per hr. And when you're going THAT slow you're being watched because you're not moving fast enough.
@Pyrohawk24 I can load trailers and say I am working safely and reading every label to work at a 400 pph. Nothing in IBT contract says they can tag you for not upholding your supervisors production number. If you have seniority and believe you have to work hard to keep your job, you are a corporate tool. If you let a supervisor work you are decreasing their numbers.
@exojjl unloading is the easiest yet most dangerous area in our hub. I've unloaded, loaded, sorted, SPA, data-cap, driven the Irreg train, and pretty much everything that's gone on. But keeping in mind that we are at a very large HUB, we were required to move at a 1,000 pph pace, which for an unloader, is EXTREMELY slow. I normally unload at a 1700+ pace, and 2k if it's a great trailer, but that's with my paired SPA lady and sorter.
@exojjl Now as for loaders, they're usually required to keep up or they'll be let go, and I do not know of a pph pace that they're expected to move at, but it all depends on the pool, the size of the pool, the amount expected to come in, and the flow comming down the slide/belt. As for the contract, it's been changed over and over, it isn't consistant. The most recent contract I saw stated that you can be let go for no reason at all. The Union would probably overturn it however.
@Pyrohawk24 I'm a preloader in Roswell, GA, and have been there nine years. I've been threatened with suspension due to misloads. Lord the grey hairs that have sprouted, and the sleepless nights that I've had! One of my trucks which delivers to a mall, I have to custom load. Some stores will have up to five different shelf numbers for that same store. For the last three years I've begged to be moved, but they say, nobody else can do it but me. I'm locked in (screwed!). I pay the union due
@EricBBrandon1 I'm a preloader in Chantilly, VA, I've only been there for about 2 years, but I've done every job in the facility. When I started there way back in '08 I was a loader in the slides. They had about 7 people on my pool a day to help me out because of how heavy my pool was, but at one point they tried to fire me over 1 misload. Didn't even notify me. In fact, I got a letter in the mail from the Union stating that they had my back.
@PositivelyBored LOL. Local 804 tried that but were too scared (or too broke) to bring the matter to arbitration (thus setting precedent). You're INSTRUCTED to double check before you walk into a car (preload) and load a package. Misloads = failure to follow work methods and instructions, and you will be disciplined if it becomes chronic. Discipline for misloads has gone through without a hitch.
Not here. We laugh at you part-time supervisosr and toss in a couple extras. I'm FT and a steward, btw. And 804 does not allow discipline for misloads, although the co is free to bring them to the table during discipline hearings, misloads and attendence are two things that either seperately or together do not make a case, never have and never will.
@PositivelyBored No substantive reply. No big surprise. Work instruction and procedure is to double check before loading any package. Constant misloads are a clear failure to follow this instruction. Some loaders get a few misloads a month, others get a few misloads a day -- it simply comes down to who cares and who doesn't. Suspensions have already been handed out (no terminations as far as I know). Employees HAVE been terminated for poor attendance.
@PositivelyBored they tried to get me on that few years ago. my shop steward did the right thing told the supervisor it was human error not failure to follow directions. Supervisor dropped it didnt write me up. They want you to think they can discipline you for missorts but they cant.
@rexxythomas I've fired people for missorts, lol. It's in your contract, read it. Labor and the union will approve warning letters, and suspensions. It's a failure to follow proper load methods.
@ComputerInfoSystem It's plenty frustrating when you aren't meeting your quota. If your even off by a few mins the bosses are up your ass the whole week. They expect someone comming off the street to hit their numbers in 5 days from when you start.
I've moved on to security anyways untill I finish school. I'm getting $12 an hour, have plenty of time for my HW and I have full benifits.
I love how they don't show the pre-load position at all. How do you think those packages get to the sorters? Some poor bastard has to unload a semi truck, filled top to bottom with packages weighing up to 75lbs in half an hour or less. All for $8.40 and hour.
I recently ordered $120 worth of merch and even though I provided it, they claim my apt # was missing. So instead of just taking it to the apts' office, they take it back to the hub to "find" another address. I looked it up on the tracker the next day and it was sent to KENTUCKY. I've never even BEEN IN KENTUCKY! The worst part is it was signed under MY NAME! UPS won't do anything about it because they claim it was DELIVERED. UPS is THE WORST company ever.
@Subliminal42069 Pre-load is worse. That's where you're unloading a semi in under 30 mins and packages up to 75lbs are avalanching on you because the person that loaded the truck doesn't care enough to put the heavys on the bottom.
@audallas841 ya i have heard of that. some employee got drilled in the head by an irreg at the hub i work at. it was loaded up high. i have unloaded before and it is kinda dangerous. one guy got totally buried by boxes once. someone had to dig him out.
UPS is fucking slow.I ordered an Item from California to NY using FedEx and I got it in 3 days. I used UPS to get some papers from NJ to Long island and it took 7 fucking days(delayed=beyond UPS control..wtf its just a 20 lbs box)...if it is for business urgency don't use UPS.
What will UPS do for you? Nothing! Next day air NBA All Star tickets for my 50th birthday not delivered until Monday after the game with sorry the weather was bad. Told to contact the shipper that there was nothing UPS could do, all the while, my package sat in the Service Center Friday morning @ 8:58am on the 12th. Spoke with 4 different Customer Service supervisors and they all had the same responce - sorry but we can't help you. Now this is Customer Service at its finest.
I live in Louisville KY and we have one of the more larger UPS hubs and different hubs located across the city. There are parts of the company here that will give you a 8 hour shift, 5 days a week, full benefits and the best part are NON UNION! But it's really hard to get onto those shifts since everyone tries to. Just because it's non union they don't treat you bad, hell they treat their workers there better than they do their union workers.
If you don't want your package where its supposed to be on time then don't use UPS. Everytime I use UPS it works without fault. Anytime I use Fedex it seems like it takes forever. I HATE SHIPPING!!!
@kingdoc they deliver my package in the middle of the day when i'm not even home because apprently according to UPS we're all retired and wait for packages.
i got a question u guys, for ups delivering of packages, can you use any packages or only the ones ups sells. and how much is a possible small box cost.
@XVietAZNPrideX as a ups driver, u can use any box. Just make sure it is packaged correctly meaning use the right amount of tape and always verify the to and from address. Peace. Las vegas.
Lemme just say, people that ship stuff through there are idiots!
I was always coming across boxes that were packed so full of stuff, the walls of the box were bulging out, boxes used that were so old they were deteriorating, boxes with 2 labels (the old label wasn't even x'd out with a marker), wrong tape used (electrical or scotch tape instead of box tape), no attempt made whatsoever in terms of bubble wrap or packing peanuts to protect the items,etc
(had to use 2 comments because I ran out of space)
So yeah, anyone who complains about UPS and damaged items, it's usually because of improper packaging. It's not UPS's fault if you don't follow their guidelines on how to package your items.
And when the package gets damaged the customer blames you. I for one DESPISE double labels. I mean it takes all but 10 seconds to take a marker and cross off the label. The stupid people shipping shit is the hardest part of being a loader.
lol yeah I hated double labels... One time on the sort, my supervisor told me to "check the dates" to find the proper label. I was like, "I don't have time!"
I did the same thing. I don't even bother checking the dates anymore because most had the same one. (10/2009) I usually looked where they were coming from. They even were strange at times. Like one had a NC label and an NJ label. The NC label said it came from the NJ zip and the NJ label said it came from the NC zip. My supervisor stood there staring at the labels for a good 3 minutes before he finally said fuck it its bad.
They are onlu showing the easy jobs. Show the hard jobs like the loaders and unloaders. I was an unloader at UPS before I quit. All I have to say is its not worth it. UPS at the hub are just slave drivers. They expect way to much from people just for the 3 hours you work there a night.
I work as a loader and yeah its hard but OMG think of becoming a Driver making $70,000+ a year... Holy Hell, i just got done with driver school and im driving for Peak making only $15 hr but damn, Im looking for the big bucks down the road
Think twice before saying that. You have to remember that the job is very fast paced. The average package should only be touched by a person for 5 seconds, or at least it seems like that, if you take time to neatly place each package in your wall, you will back up very fast or your wall will collapse and dozens of packages will fall on you.
Can't agree with you more. Sort is mentally harder than load but you figure that this hub is automated. At my hub everything is done by hand. (as far as I know, haven't really been to small sort) UPS is only worth it if you are in it for the long run.
I work the morning loading shift at a UPS center in a downtown area of a relatively major city, and our center doesn't look a lot like this one. Ours is mostly older and more broken.
And to a lot of people in these comments, keep in mind, while it's easy to just give us all flak and see UPS as a faceless corporate entity, most of us are just regular people doing our jobs as best we can, day in and day out. We're no more infallible than you are.
And i'll complain cause i can. What kinda shits that. Lifes a bitch for ppl, and im just another brick in the wall. Yeah and fuck those bags, i'll complain about that cause they absoulutley fill them up to the fullest and gets heavy
yeah whatever about proofreading. i just don't give 2 shits about this job. I'm glad tomarro is my last day at the toledo hub. I'm only 1 week away from my 1st year anniversery, and i gotta go off to college. Couldn't get job transfered cause of just the one week, plus the other hub wasn't asking for any newhires when peak season is coming up. Horseshit! only alternative is an rehire card, i can go work possiably any hub around the U.S, but gotta start over from scratch.
If I get a knock knock whos it "ups" tomorrow in the morning that will be the happiest moment in my life, I ordered a ps3 slim with 4 games from gamestop, but gamestop ordering process sucks, it easily cancell your order for no reason. So please god, if you don't give me a knock knock ups tomorrow then fuck you.
FEDEX is better because they have different vehicle for different types of packages. In my case, home delivery. The day my package is suppose to be delivered through Fedex, I usually receive it around 10:00AM. If UPS is delivering it, then I'll have to wait the entire day to receive it, after 6:00Pm in most cases. This is ALL the time with UPS. With FEDEX your home Delivery package is in a vehicle with other home delivery packages which means your package will be delivered quicker.
UPS sucks because they deliver different types of packages all in one vehicle. Which usually means you'll have to wait a long time for your package to be delivered to your house.
A box falls off the Belt <<Um, it's YOUR responsibility to be sure YOU package your item securely for shipping. Accidents happen. That's why you properly secure your article.
I've worked for UPS for 10 years, 99% of Damaged good were not properly packaged for shipping.
I ship items through UPS. I treat YOUR package like it's MY package. :o)
damn, why do people whine so damn much? ups handles millions of packages a day. of course there are gonna be issues here and there. i guess everyone that's complaining is perfect and never makes any mistakes.
im waiting my xbox 360 too... delivery date 20th. i am pissed that it does not come on saturday!!! now i got too wait until monday. SHITTT!!! FUCK UPS!!!
hey, i work the twlight sort and load semis scanning over 1,000 packages a night then making sure they are all fit tight wall to wall to fill up a 43 foot trailer up to the ceiling, all in 3 and a half hours a night with a ten minute break, packages can wight upto 150 pounds stop crying yes i may throw kick your package as hard as i can when i get mad but who cares thats life lol

Hey UPS, your commercials suck and your "Pay 'em for nothing" union sucks even more. FEDEX is the only company I will ever use. I have worked for you lame fucks and the way you toss packages around is the result of your unions and why they should be abolished off the face of the Earth. FUCK YOU UPS YOU SUCK!

So much nicer than my facility. Two conveyors for the unload, where we have guys who scan and place on top or bottom. Which the top comes down a certain distance to the bottom so it can reach the one conveyor in the mobile area where I work now loading from 3 to 4 trucks. I was unloading and scanning until they decided to train me to preload. And the minimum they want you to scan is 600 / 650 packages per hr.
wcazes 1 year ago
@wcazes hah, 600-650 and hr? Wow that's slow. We're expected to move at a bare min of 1,000 per hr. And when you're going THAT slow you're being watched because you're not moving fast enough.

@Pyrohawk24 I can load trailers and say I am working safely and reading every label to work at a 400 pph. Nothing in IBT contract says they can tag you for not upholding your supervisors production number. If you have seniority and believe you have to work hard to keep your job, you are a corporate tool. If you let a supervisor work you are decreasing their numbers.

@exojjl unloading is the easiest yet most dangerous area in our hub. I've unloaded, loaded, sorted, SPA, data-cap, driven the Irreg train, and pretty much everything that's gone on. But keeping in mind that we are at a very large HUB, we were required to move at a 1,000 pph pace, which for an unloader, is EXTREMELY slow. I normally unload at a 1700+ pace, and 2k if it's a great trailer, but that's with my paired SPA lady and sorter.
Pyrohawk24 1 year ago
@exojjl Now as for loaders, they're usually required to keep up or they'll be let go, and I do not know of a pph pace that they're expected to move at, but it all depends on the pool, the size of the pool, the amount expected to come in, and the flow comming down the slide/belt. As for the contract, it's been changed over and over, it isn't consistant. The most recent contract I saw stated that you can be let go for no reason at all. The Union would probably overturn it however.

@Pyrohawk24 I'm a preloader in Roswell, GA, and have been there nine years. I've been threatened with suspension due to misloads. Lord the grey hairs that have sprouted, and the sleepless nights that I've had! One of my trucks which delivers to a mall, I have to custom load. Some stores will have up to five different shelf numbers for that same store. For the last three years I've begged to be moved, but they say, nobody else can do it but me. I'm locked in (screwed!). I pay the union due
EricBBrandon1 1 year ago
@EricBBrandon1 I'm a preloader in Chantilly, VA, I've only been there for about 2 years, but I've done every job in the facility. When I started there way back in '08 I was a loader in the slides. They had about 7 people on my pool a day to help me out because of how heavy my pool was, but at one point they tried to fire me over 1 misload. Didn't even notify me. In fact, I got a letter in the mail from the Union stating that they had my back.

@EricBBrandon1
The company cannot discipline for misloads, so never sign anything and deny all misloaded packages.
PositivelyBored 1 year ago
@PositivelyBored LOL. Local 804 tried that but were too scared (or too broke) to bring the matter to arbitration (thus setting precedent). You're INSTRUCTED to double check before you walk into a car (preload) and load a package. Misloads = failure to follow work methods and instructions, and you will be disciplined if it becomes chronic. Discipline for misloads has gone through without a hitch.
Brugality 1 year ago
@Brugality
Not here. We laugh at you part-time supervisosr and toss in a couple extras. I'm FT and a steward, btw. And 804 does not allow discipline for misloads, although the co is free to bring them to the table during discipline hearings, misloads and attendence are two things that either seperately or together do not make a case, never have and never will.
PositivelyBored 1 year ago
@PositivelyBored No substantive reply. No big surprise. Work instruction and procedure is to double check before loading any package. Constant misloads are a clear failure to follow this instruction. Some loaders get a few misloads a month, others get a few misloads a day -- it simply comes down to who cares and who doesn't. Suspensions have already been handed out (no terminations as far as I know). Employees HAVE been terminated for poor attendance.
Brugality 1 year ago
@PositivelyBored they tried to get me on that few years ago. my shop steward did the right thing told the supervisor it was human error not failure to follow directions. Supervisor dropped it didnt write me up. They want you to think they can discipline you for missorts but they cant.

I love how they don't show the pre-load position at all. How do you think those packages get to the sorters? Some poor bastard has to unload a semi truck, filled top to bottom with packages weighing up to 75lbs in half an hour or less. All for $8.40 and hour.
audallas841 1 year ago
I recently ordered $120 worth of merch and even though I provided it, they claim my apt # was missing. So instead of just taking it to the apts' office, they take it back to the hub to "find" another address. I looked it up on the tracker the next day and it was sent to KENTUCKY. I've never even BEEN IN KENTUCKY! The worst part is it was signed under MY NAME! UPS won't do anything about it because they claim it was DELIVERED. UPS is THE WORST company ever.

I live in Louisville KY and we have one of the more larger UPS hubs and different hubs located across the city. There are parts of the company here that will give you a 8 hour shift, 5 days a week, full benefits and the best part are NON UNION! But it's really hard to get onto those shifts since everyone tries to. Just because it's non union they don't treat you bad, hell they treat their workers there better than they do their union workers.

Lemme just say, people that ship stuff through there are idiots!
I was always coming across boxes that were packed so full of stuff, the walls of the box were bulging out, boxes used that were so old they were deteriorating, boxes with 2 labels (the old label wasn't even x'd out with a marker), wrong tape used (electrical or scotch tape instead of box tape), no attempt made whatsoever in terms of bubble wrap or packing peanuts to protect the items,etc
bluetoaster8822 2 years ago
(had to use 2 comments because I ran out of space)
So yeah, anyone who complains about UPS and damaged items, it's usually because of improper packaging. It's not UPS's fault if you don't follow their guidelines on how to package your items.
bluetoaster8822 2 years ago
And when the package gets damaged the customer blames you. I for one DESPISE double labels. I mean it takes all but 10 seconds to take a marker and cross off the label. The stupid people shipping shit is the hardest part of being a loader.
joeyzaine111 1 year ago
lol yeah I hated double labels... One time on the sort, my supervisor told me to "check the dates" to find the proper label. I was like, "I don't have time!"
bluetoaster8822 1 year ago
I did the same thing. I don't even bother checking the dates anymore because most had the same one. (10/2009) I usually looked where they were coming from. They even were strange at times. Like one had a NC label and an NJ label. The NC label said it came from the NJ zip and the NJ label said it came from the NC zip. My supervisor stood there staring at the labels for a good 3 minutes before he finally said fuck it its bad.

They are onlu showing the easy jobs. Show the hard jobs like the loaders and unloaders. I was an unloader at UPS before I quit. All I have to say is its not worth it. UPS at the hub are just slave drivers. They expect way to much from people just for the 3 hours you work there a night.

yeah I kinda hate ups, they don't even take care of your item but I would so work for ups to deliver stuff/drive
GaaraSama3 2 years ago
Think twice before saying that. You have to remember that the job is very fast paced. The average package should only be touched by a person for 5 seconds, or at least it seems like that, if you take time to neatly place each package in your wall, you will back up very fast or your wall will collapse and dozens of packages will fall on you.
joeyzaine111 1 year ago
Can't agree with you more. Sort is mentally harder than load but you figure that this hub is automated. At my hub everything is done by hand. (as far as I know, haven't really been to small sort) UPS is only worth it if you are in it for the long run.
joeyzaine111 1 year ago
Even if you are in it for the long run the only way you will ever move up is if you are willing to become a supervisor.

It's like Business deliveries first, then home deliveries later with UPS. I've never had to wait after 11:00AM for a Fedex Delivery.
Even USPS is faster than UPS. And I don't even like USPS when it comes to package deliveries.
ECDT1089 2 years ago
FEDEX is better because they have different vehicle for different types of packages. In my case, home delivery. The day my package is suppose to be delivered through Fedex, I usually receive it around 10:00AM. If UPS is delivering it, then I'll have to wait the entire day to receive it, after 6:00Pm in most cases. This is ALL the time with UPS. With FEDEX your home Delivery package is in a vehicle with other home delivery packages which means your package will be delivered quicker.
ECDT1089 2 years ago
UPS sucks because they deliver different types of packages all in one vehicle. Which usually means you'll have to wait a long time for your package to be delivered to your house.
