UPS Employee Reviews for Package Handler

"I was only seasonal at UPS but the short time that I worked there I had a very good experience. I worked on the airplanes loading and unloading aircraft and making sure the packages were not damaged. The management there was nice a little unorganized but it was a cool laid back environment."

"Overall I really enjoyed my time with UPS. I moved back to Virginia (to be closer with family and my mother is able to watch my two kids for me, so my wife and I can work) and I was not able to relocate with the company due to company policy of not working with them for a least a year. That is my only complaint."

"I'm working with UPS since September, 2013 and I really love my position and the ethics of the company. This company offers services all over the world and I love being part of it."

"This company is great for young people starting out, but for those that are older it is a bit harder to move up. Being a union shop, each individual has to follow a strict path of employment in order to obtain jobs at a higher level. Everyone is expected to have had experience with driving the UPS truck. They are a good company, the work is not easy however and the pay is poor for what they expect you to know and do. The medical benefits also take far too long to kick in (1 year)."

"It was a great learning experience."
