160 Package Handler Reviews

"I get a workout and lose weight. I hate that people who never have done package handling tell us to hurry up. Packages are heavy. They have no clue how heavy the packages are. Plus, the ability to get hit with the packages falling on you."

"Helping people get packages in a timely manner is the only pleasure I take from this job."

"Love the workout and the people I work with. I dislike the opportunity to move up within the company as it is very little possibility to do so."

"I loved the customer service aspect of the company and I was usually the package handler and packer so the training they provided for it was very thorough and very good as we all understood that the items being packed had to get to their destination unharmed."

"I love the professionalism that FedEx teaches their employees; and the natural respects it creates between managers and employees, and employees with their coworkers. I only hate when I do a splendid job and still fail because other coworkers didn't do what they were supposed to."

"I love the fact that it gives a person an outlet to relieve some stress. I hate that the pay is so weak for the amount of work that has to be done on a daily basis."

"The main thing is the effort I, and others put in. There was no equivalent reward or satisfaction with the work. It wasn't all horrible, though. The tuition reimbursement helped a great deal. But you could only apply for it once a year. The medical benefits were the best I've ever had."

"I was not meant to be a laborer. I have a strong body, but I have a mind that buzzes and froths when not being exercised properly, and I never found the position to be mentally involved or challenging on any level. If you want a way to make some decent money for relatively few hours, and you have a strong back, this is a good place to start though."

"What I love about the job is that this is a physical, fast-paced position that involves continual lifting, lowering and sliding packages that typically weigh 25 - 35 lbs. and may weigh up to 70 lbs. As Package Handlers receive a competitive hourly rate and also an attractive benefits package. What I dislike about this job is that, as Part-time employees usually work 3 - 4 hours each weekday (Monday through Friday)and work approx. 17 1/2 20 hours per week."

"Being in the cold. Loved the workout that I received every day."

"The thing I love about UPS is that it's a global service company and I love being a part of it. It's one of the fastest package delivery companies."

"The pay stuck in the 1980s. Raises, good luck on that one."
