How's the work life balance at UPS?

If you work at UPS the only time for family is the weekend. The work week is long and grueling. About 80% of the full time employees in my building are divorced. I believe this is in large part because of the stress and long hours the company demands. This # has increased dramatically over the last 5 years as the demands of the company have grown to unachievable. Our drivers are frequently scheduled for 10+ hour days and disciplined for tiny infractions that occur throughout the day. Most employees fear their job in jeopardy if they speak up and thus find themselves under a tremendous amount of stress which eventually spills over into their family life. Ups does not easily allow for a comfortable amount of time with your family. It is very difficult to feel a part of my family when I'm getting home at 8 on every night.

After 25yrs at UPS, work conditions have actually worsened. The everyday stress of the Job and the constant harassment from management beats employees moral and ability to spend any quality time with family. The work days are extremely long and exhausting and even when you request to work no more than 8hrs because you want to make to your kid’s game, they make it nearly impossible for you by stacking extra work on you so that mentally pushes you to work like an animal just to try to get out in time to make it to the game. Some days are better than others but when you look at the grand scheme of things, we UPSers give up so much… time that you’ll never be able to get back and make with your kids and family. So I’m conclusion, there’s no such thing as a work life balance at UPS.

Horrible. They give us only 3 1/2 hours of work a night on local sort we have to have 2 jobs. Everyone on local sort works from 7-8am to 3-4 pm. Then have to be at UPS at 530-5. Monday thru Friday. Pay and hours are horrible we make what McDonald’s workers make, but we forced to run run run for hours straight and get in trouble when we have to stop the belt. So no time with family, tired and wore out when we get home, and days we are off so sore and in need of rest that it’s hard to plan anything.

I’m not sure what work life balance means. If you like to work life is great. Your life will be UPS. Hours and hours of overtime. You will miss almost all after school activities of your children. Your vacation choices will be limited for years until your seniority grows. Doctor appointments will require an entire day off. Only if requested 8 days prior. Now the good news. Take care of your body. Bank that overtime. Put in your 25+ years and retire comfortably. Gods speed

For hourly employees it’s good. Once you are a part of management there is little balance. The work load is greater and the company demands are higher. The Divorce rate is high. UPS put a lot of emphasis on safety but not enough on employee retention. I have worked in multiple facilities across the east coast and it has been proven that the culture is the same.

Horrible for full timers. Package cars drivers are away from home 7 am-9-10 pm M-F!! Feeder drivers ( CDL Tractor Trailers/Doubles) work M_F 10 14 hours per day, usually with only 10m hours off between clock punches (as per required by Fed law)! They never see there family except on weekends and then they are exhausted.

Awful. Being out of the house for 14 hours a day leaves no time for family or anything else. People who file overtime grievances end being ridden and given warning letters for the dumbest things. Harassment is at an all time high

There isn’t any. UPS does not care about their employees. You are a tool and nothing else. The benefits aren’t even worth working yourself to death anymore.

My stepdad works here and basically missed out on whole childhood, that should tell u about the work-life balance here

The scales are tipped ... more UPS than home life. Not happy

They will deny almost any request for time off.

Terrible

Horrible!
