Great for: drug addicts/ alcoholics, racists, homophobes and transphobes, incompetent and lazy management, gossips and bullies, the mentally unstable, sexist, people who manipulate the system, family and friends of management and of course sexual predators. In my 10yrs of working within various departments at UPS I've seen an overwhelming amount of toxicity. When I was a union employee the non union supervisors would call themselves and each other slave drivers. After I moved out of the union and into an office I've seen more than one person become so ill due to drug use they needed to be removed by EMS.... just to return sometime later. I've witnessed management gossip about transgender and homosexual employees. I've seen them tell their friends private employee information. I've watched them bully and spread misinformation about employees to strengthen their position within a certain clique. I've seen people who are accused of sexual harassment be moved to other parts of the company and be promoted into management. I've seen managers single out individuals seemingly based on gender, race or perhaps youth and their level of attractiveness. I've seen people with 20+ years of experience be passed over for promotions for people with significantly less experience when education is the same for both. In general UPS is a cesspool of toxicity and bureaucracy with a PR team that seriously deserves a raise.

See the facetious list of pros but also...their Covid-19 response. While I understand that we provide an essential service during this pandemic, it's also true that UPS is making the cheapest effort possible to keep their employees safe. Communication is non-existent employees have been told that infected individuals "are none of our concern". Confirmed cases are hidden until weeks have passed and no sanitation is performed afterwards. There was even a case of a household member of an infected individual be told my management to come into work. Since I work in an office we have the option to work from home but...due to management incompetence and possible favoritism a process that took a week to be handled by one manager is going into a third week when being handled by another. In addition to that shared computers are randomly distributed to take home. So there is a chance you will get a computer used by a sick person. Did I mention hand sanitizer is not provided and while we were apparently provided wipes this wasn't communicated effectively.
