Vantaggi
There's always some work everyday... but really this isn't reliable and it's not a good source of income
Svantaggi
I worked in the small sort part of the warehouse. - The conditions are bad. It's very hot with pretty high humidity constantly. Requests for fans had been made to help with the heat but they were declined by management who sits in an air conditioned section of the warehouse. - There are no breaks provided and no chances to take a breath during your shift. The work is constant, a lot of cardio. This is fine if you enjoy tasks with a seemingly never reachable goal. - The bags that are used tear up your hands, purchasing gloves is a must if you don't want to leave with raw and bloody hands. Management does not reimburse for these gloves. - The managers on the floor in charge of you sometimes help, but usually only point out that you need to pick up your pace, even though there is clearly a deficit of workers for the volume of work demanded. - The managers directly in charge of you could slow the volume of packages being sorted, to create a managable pace for the workers, but they don't do this. This is a sign of incompetence. - UPS lures you in with claims that they will help pay for college tuition, but in the sign up process they don't inform you that you need to remain employed by UPS just to have the CHANCE of receiving reimbursement for college tuition. It's very close to scamming.
