Working at UPS in Oakland, CA: 4 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Oakland, CA Area

"UPS is a very capable company, I've even been told it is on the Fortune 500 list. The work I was doing was difficult yet stable, the management staff were competent, and the hours weren't excessive."

"When I started we had 3 delivery trucks to be loaded with over 200 pieces with oversized ones as well that should have gone to cargo and plus... It was without scanning the boxes. Then, the scanner came. We had to scan every single box with scanners that most of the time provoked to cry, and of course making more difficult the job which already was hard to manage. They wanted us to load those trucks with more than 200 pieces in less than 4 hours...Now they say it can be 4 trucks if needed and that it's doable. If you ask them what's the limit? They just said it's doable. Plus the way they treat you, especially if you don't finish...They can see with half truckload outside it and they pass by and say, you have 2 minutes to do it. This is slavery in the 21st century. The necessity is ugly. They keep us because we all want the health insurance, but there is always a limit that's why barely you'll find somebody in preload with more than 2 years."

"UPS is a established company with over 100 years in the transportation industry."
