Working at UPS in Buffalo, NY: 2 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Buffalo, NY Area

"Horrible management, horrible hours - start time fluctuates between 3:45-4am. They work you into the ground. They are never satisfied no matter how hard you work. Box line package handler is the worst position in the place. They cap you at about 20 hours/week & that's for 5 days a week. You have to take items out of cages- that are stuffed in the far back of the cages. So you have to climb & reach into the moving cages to reach the packages all the time & yes you will be yelled at for it. Typically have to load 4 trucks an average of 1,000 packages/day. You don't really get breaks. It's 100 degrees or hotter in the warehouse. The supervisors are jerks. There's a conveyor belt that takes some getting used to. Almost fell a couple times because they started the belt without any warning. While the belts running its very difficult, people usually put the heavy large items on the belt face down - so you can't see the label & get yelled at by supervisors for missing a package. It's a very miserable job with very poor management. It's easy to get hired, but if they put you on the box line just quit - it only gets worse the longer you stay. The pay isn't all that good - $13/hour. NOT WORTH IT - WOULD NOT RECOMMEND EVEN TO MY WORST ENEMY"
