Toxic Environment, Terrible Management - Recensione dipendente - Industrial Engineer presso UPS

Worked hand-in-hand with a operations and industrial engineering supervisors/managers who regularly expressed sexist, racist, homophobic views freely and without concern of repercussions. Definitely a boys' club. Worked overtime during peak and was never compensated. Poor human resource allocation and training disincentivized management from developing their employees or encouraging advancement. Incredibly poor cross-training, understaffing, and coverage for industrial engineering roles resulting in persistently overworked employees. No formalized industrial engineering methodology (or training on said methodology) applied at the district level. Don't believe district management even knew what industrial engineering really entailed. Ops frequently gassed production numbers and IE management just went along with it. IT systems were years behind standards in other industries. Terrible documentation on all business intelligence platforms. District management had no idea how to leverage technology to reduce workload or improve processes. Entire company appeared to run on Excel spreadsheets from the mid-2000s. At the time, there was about a 15-20 year age gap between management and employees/supervisors. Very few employees in IE between the ages of 30-40, which says a lot about turnover and investment in employees. Underpaid for the stress.
