If you piss off the wrong person, you can get "fired". More or less being sent home for the day and you have to get the union to get your job back. This is more common on the later shifts at the building I worked in.
Not sure if they ever have to lay anybody off they have a high turnover because the pay is decent starting pay but the way you have to work your way up in a company it's just it realistic unless you're young college student going to school or something like that I don't see a grown adult being able to survive off of this unless they're working another job killing themselves just to survive until they make it up the ladder with UPS
There should not be any

What's the office vibe like at UPS?
Increasingly depressing. Management seems to be controlled from an outside source, and employees are treated like a renewable resource.
Office vibe? The people are what makes or brakes any company. Personalities are a little different each each department so it depends on your career path... In the end, every situation is what YOU make of it :)
Company has no culture. Everyone is on their own and it is never enough. For doing good job, you will be thanked by being pushed to your limits. There will be a point when you would have to choose between your life and your job.

No culture. Just boxes
corporate office morale is low right now
