Backstory:
UPS is a place that has been continuously recommended to me by my peers. He simply said, you throw boxes into a trailer for a few hours and you're out. Having previous experience working at a factory, it shouldn't be bad at all. I applied and low and behold, I got the interview. The rest of the process was explained in the video. Make sure you like, comment, and subscribe if you enjoyed what you saw! - Розваги
Hes making a youtube video right before walking into a job interview.. Id be nervous as hell sweating trying to remember not to say something stupid
You're interviewing to be a cog in a giant wheel. It's not that serious ;-)
This seems cool for someone straight out of HS that just needs something quick.
Have you quit already
@@sexymommakat After this video, I never applied. I found a kick back desk job that paid me just as much.
@@LifeOfTheParty323 I have been at ups for 9 years, it's definitely time to move on, congratulations on your job.
@@sexymommakat Good luck on your new job. I'm sure it will be better than UPS.
LosAngeles.323 what job is it
The CEO started as a package handler and became CEO after 40 years I laughed so fucking hard at this he was a package handler for probably 1-2 weeks then immediately promoted to upper management through connections in the company you can bet 99% or more of that 40 years was not spent as a package handler. (PS I am a package handler)
My left ear enjoyed this video :3
beat me to it
Mario Duenas you’re a year too late
Bill Cervantes:::So were you
Lmao
😂😂 I was concerned about my ear phones, thanks bro
I rather work at UPS and get paid for a Good workout instead of going to Planet Fitness or Gold's Gym or LA Fitness and paying them money I rather get paid to work out
I mean you still gotta train specifically bro to get a good physique. Pure packaging wont cut it as overtime youll get too accustomed to thei weight and everything and youll remain the same. Train the same remain the same like they say. You still gotta do your compound lifts, bodyweight exercises like pushups, pullups, burpees, lunges, dips, leg raises etc. To gain noticeable muscle strength and definition. Thats why some construction workers still look big and as if they are in bad shape. It really depends on your goals doe. Just saying ups wont give you the benefits that REAL exercise will. And if you dont wanna go to a gym theres also something called CALISTHENICS. Calisthenics is pure body movements which is enough to actually give you a good physique and awesome skills while youre at it (muscle ups, handstand, front and back lever, planche,human flag, etc). And you can gain all these skills by just practicing at home.
@@dan_4531 you have to put a lot of work and everything it's not just going to a gym or getting a workout at UPS you have to eat the right Foods everything has to come into play together
I am a woman who once worked in warehouse shipping. It's more than a "work out." If you go to the gym and feel too sore for the next day's work out, you can skip a day. But on a job, you MUST perform. On jobs like these, people's bodies start to wear out and they start missing days. Eventually the quit or get fired. That is why there is high turnover with these kinds of jobs.
@@rozchristopherson648 yeah I've been working at UPS for 2 years and the wear and tear is real. I'm sore everyday, even on my weekends, and want to quit everyday but have to make it through college. Fuck debt. I'm never touching that shit. I'd rather break my back. Sitting at 13k in the bank and stacking it up. Hopefully I can get my last year off. Going to be a software engineer. A hell of a good one too 👏
This is serious motivation to go to school.. I just need a little bit of deciding tonight because this is seriously bringing me down... this ups, package handler bullshit. Not to knock anyone off but it’s the way I feel. I’d rather be in a hellcat charger with a house payed off baby.
Thanks for this video! My appointment for UPS is on Monday 🙌
I work at FedEx part time and it's 16.50 package handler! a lot of physical work but it's cool part Time
I'm a retired UPS driver. Started in 1986. It's a great job. At the beginning I wanted to quit..it's hard work but your body gets used to it.
ur body got used to it. but how is it now lmfao
@@sethkang4410 Feeling great. No back issues or knee issues. The job isn't for everybody. Only one out of five make driver. I always eat a healthy diet and drink lots of water.
I got a little behind on bills so I applied online for this job and got it. This is my second job, I also work in a mill making 23 dollars an hour. I need better insurance and would like to see where UPS takes me. I'm 52 and I love a workout but I feel like I'm getting burned out working so much. I wish I would have started when I was 18.
Do lots of stretches daily. It’ll help especially with you bending a lot and being older
I did the job as an unloader for 3 months and then I got promoted to as a sorter but the job itself was terrible a 15 minute break is all you get for working 4 to 5 hours and we were only getting paid $300 a week which is pretty bad and I remember before amazon had their warehouse made i use to make $500 a week which was not bad however 8 hours a day to make $500 a week with only a 15 minute break the job is not worth you can get way better jobs and better breaks
I worked in 2002 and was fired, moved to Tx and reapplied in 2017 and was rehired after talking to the supervisor. Quit after peak and now going back again in 3 days. I’ve gotten a lot of lenience. I was at 10.5 last year and this yr it’s 14 an hr
All you need is a pulse, to get a job! How long you're pulse rate, holds up, is up to you!
$7.50 is the lowest minimum wage. In South California it's around $10-$13 depending where you live. LA is $13-$15. In San Francisco it's $15($13-$14 for some). In Stockton, where I'm at, most are $10, some are $11-$12. Only the High school kids gets about $8-9 and maybe even $10 depending on the job position.
7.25 in mississippi bro
The hiring process is different now. At least it is in my area. You do the application online and then you do some cognitive tests and play some “games” if you’re a good match then they email you a start date. I’ve been at UPS for 1 year now.
Wonder how different it is now that union membership is optional according to the SCOTUS ruling.
I have an interview scheduled for next week. I'm sort of disappointed they pay minimum wage. You would think that a company like UPS would pay a little better than Walmart lol I know people will argue that warehouse work does not require higher education but that doesn't mean that very hard physical work should be underrated especially when you consider what it does to your body over time. Also, most places will only schedule you a minimum of 4 hours per shift I need at least that to make the gas money worth it. A 50 cent pay raise is the same amount Walmart offers after a year of employment. I can't believe that a company that is UNIONIZED are working people less than four hours a day and paying people MINIMUM wage. When its hard enough to pay your rent you now have to pay union dues on your min wage? OH LAWD I think I may withdraw my application now. Had no idea it was this bad. Thank you for posting!
It suuuuuuucked.
They are real shady about the bonuses for seasonal package handler. I've had 2 checks and I'm still waiting for my Bonus. When I call to ask HR they dont know. When I ask my driver he doesnt know. Is this a SCAM?????
That Union Fee depends on your state because in NC, for example, you do not have to be part of the Union.
all of the packages fall down on the table and you grab them and the cabinets are numbered from one thru six and seven thru not on file
Why do the package delivery drivers get paid like kings and the package handlers and freight drivers get paid like crap
Reloaded Cash freight driver make more than delivery drivers, part of needing a cdl
I work my tail off for 11 to 12+ hours per day and everyday I face 1,000 ways that I could lose my job.
I’m not saying that working inside is easy because it’s not. I did it for almost 11 years (I made 18.76/hr my last year.) However package car driver, for me, has been very way harder. I work 11, 12, sometimes 13 hours per day. Each day there are 1,000 ways I could lose my job or worse. I do not doddle; I earn every penny.
Mark Gustafson Bro you’re lying your ass off right now. The union we’re under is for us to the point you would literally have to fail whatever diversion program they put you under before you’re fired. We have a guy here in red river that kicked a box someone’s door and was caught on camera, put on worldwide news and is still working getting damn near 60hrs a week.
@@0000rrfff don't bet on it I've seen stewards fired for no reason.the co.and union didn't like him and he was gone.
Great video. Very informative and detailed. What city are you in?
I just got hired at UPS as a package handler in California and I get paid $16 an hour and it’s a lot of work but not hard at all. They put me on sorting which is one of the harder positions. The job is very fast paced but it makes the shifts go by fast. This job definitely isn’t for those who don’t like working hard. I could see why people quit the first week lol.
are you working twilight?
Day shift
Well how are you doing today?
Try bull for the entire shift and loading it on the platform while the guys in the truck scan slowly. Oh and while you’re doing that clear the jams, and oh while you’re doing that jump in the other truck and start scanning
i got a appointment on Tuesday in Los Angeles, kinda getting my mindset prepared that its going to be hell but wish me luck!
How did it go ?? I have one tomorrow. What should I expect ?
When you said get a little buff I changed my mind lmao
This was made in 2017 the pay is higher now
$11 is minimum wage?? WHERE in Ohio it’s 7 something
At fedex ground you can transfer to any fedex ground location in the country
UPS must pay different and each state because you're saying $11 an hour I don't know what state you're in but here in Pennsylvania it's $14 an minimum to start as a package handler
Very informative thanks man!!
thanks for making this good video bro
Is it worth it for full time summer worker 18.75 an hour 1 hour break?
I started at UPS as a package handler in 2017, also add in that I started two weeks before peak season, 2 years later I'm still there, this job is not for everyone, especially in the summer
Whats your location? State? CA temperatures in the summer can be a pain in the butt
@@Yepez2017 Cach, or Hodgkins, IL, Which is the biggest location in the Chicagoland area
50 dollars union fee here in Kentucky and it's after one month
Should I take my piercings off? I have Snakebites and the bridge of my nose done.
BE A PERSONAL VEHICLE DRIVER OR DRIVER HELPER INSTEAD. THEYRE SO MUCH BETTER, AND HAVE MUCH BETTER PAY
Did you get to choose the job position you wanted at ups . Or they just assigned you to do sorting at ups .
hi akemi, i am planning to work there for about 6 months and i was wondering if there is a full time position for after the summer, if yes will it be around $18 per hour or will it be $11 per hour. also thanks for the videos u have no idea how helpful they were keep up the good work take care.
Hi Leo!
The Summer Temporary Full Time is on a site to site basis so it may not be available at your UPS location. Also based on your minimum wage for your state, the pay may also vary. For example, if you live in New Hampshire, their minimum wage is $7.50 so it'll be vastly different than another state like California. Let me know if you have any other questions!
It'll take you YEARS to get full-time.
Applied for a position as a part-time package handler. Not something long tern but just for a few months while i finish trade school. For $18 and hour and only 25 hours a week? Cant complain!
Over here we start at 14 which isn't bad and working for like 4 ½ hrs
@@scarleedge2427 yea its 14 in my area and HR said they pay overtime if you work over a 4 hr shift
I use to work at UPS in day sort and sunrise sort
Why are you required to pay into the Union if your salary is Minimum wage
That's just how it is. Most people work here not for the money but moreso for the full-time benefits for part-time work.
@@AkemiLife do they just take it out of your check?
@@kj4920 yup they take it out of your check
@Politically Incorrect I started at ups pt in the 70s at $7.50 hr.I was making $16.25 hour as a sorter in1989.pters haven't received a raise in over 30 years.
@@Politically Incorrect you are right about the unions.I've seen ups fire a teamster union steward for no reason and the teamsters didn't back him up cause they didn't like him and he wasn't part of their click.I made more per hour at ups over 31 years ago as a pt.pkg.handler than ups pkg.handlers make today. The teamsters need the constant revolving door of pt.pkg.handlers paying endless iniation fees and union dues to fund their bankrupt pension plan and ups loves the 30 year old wages and pters that quit before they ever receive any benefits.
I just applied to UPS. I work for a moving company, so this is nothing
Gen3ralGrimReaper hows it going
Gen3ralGrimReaper you still at UPS?
Minimum wage varies from state to state. NC is $7.25/hr.
How long did it take them to do a background check?? I’m still waiting on her to get back on me
how long they took to call you back after the interview??
amazing video, thank you
Ok so I applied for a certain location but they told me to come in for an appointment at another location will I be working for the location I applied to or the one at the appointment they told me to go ?
You still get paid on holidays with being older dude I'm a Package handler night shift. Comes with all kinds of benefits after a month your a full member of union
My employer offers 3 weeks off + 7 days of flex time (use it as vacation or sick time if you want to) after 5 years of seniority.
Damn! UPS explotes people.
Ups gives you 4 weeks paid vacation after 5 years as well.
Is it possible to have a full time job and do this package handler job part 8 with ups?
I worked for a moving company I had to do a lot heavy lifting up ...bring bed sofa & heavy cabinets up 3 story house and such.itwas hard work....you think being a package handler is an easier alternative????
yup much easier
Akemi lol did 4 months peak season holy fuck bru so many packages... i just stopped scanning most of the packages lol shit too long haha but i was bringing in my portable speaker everyday and my wax pens was taking dabs in the trucks while loading the trucks ahah my location was really fucken ghetto
Only thing good about it was you can miss sum nights if wanted to... the call in sick hotline was pretty badass
UPS here in Pennsylvania is $14 an hour minimum to start as a package handler
Julius Adams n baltimore to
@@evenashleeworld5824 I think now it's even more than 14 it's been moved up to $15 an hour to start
@@evenashleeworld5824 15 to $18 per hour depending
Does it suck.
I worked at UPS as a package handler for about a year. You dont get anything benefits, sick days, holiday pay until you reach your one year mark. I like working there but since im only 19 working there for only $10.50 wasnt worth it to me until i found a better job with just as good benefits at $13.50/hr. At ups i had only got about 3-5 hours a week (5 days). I wasnt bringing much money in a week. They go by seniority there so if you want combo which will get you about 8 hours a day of work is about a 5+ year wait where im located. I couldnt wait that long so i left. Ups is a good job if you want to have money every week but i dont think itll be worth waiting years to start making some more money. I would prefer to look else where but thats just my opinon.
If you could learn the spelling of weak and week you might have a chance at a better job....
Didn't mean to put weak my guy relax on the dick comment. Anyways i already got a better job.
Lmao
I Think Im Wet You Had To Edit It!!!!!
I Think Im Wet What "Better Job" Is That!???
Yep I’m going for the insurance
I've been with ups for 3 years . Good benefits never mind let me rephrase that outstanding benefits. You get raises every year . Drivers make up to 35 bucks an hour .
Stick with it man . At first it's ruff but once you build seniority it's a different story
do you guys get breaks
Wooooo i start on monday!!! And yes ive heard a lot of good things about ups so i decided to quit construction and go to ups, some drivers here are earning $40+/hour
AOMechMarine AOMechMarine how I can do that?
THAT GOES WHERE?!? Dont do it, worse job ever
so i need a part time job but i want to stay for 3 month only. will u still need to pay the initiation union fees of 500 if so then im out
Im a package handler at fedex but my starting price was $13.60 but $11 seems low asf rn I’m making $16 an hour since I got promoted
We start off at 14.50
Did you wear steel ties to orientation?
Did 6 years in the military my job required alot of manual labor and I can tell as a 25 year old man both my knees are missing 20% of the cartilage in them and my lower back is fucked up, I'm 30% disabled at age 25
They told me to dress casual , I just got hired.
So what happens if you quit before paying the $500 fee?
I plan on getting a summer job and don’t wanna be stuck paying something if I quit after 3 months of work.
What kind of questions do they ask at the interview?
Thanks, I was thinking about applying. You had a response the same day, I didn't get a response its been a week.
Kenn Tollens sometimes it’s take three weeks I just got hired
I do that at FedEx and I love it a package handler is a person who sorts the packages
Can you apply to be a driver? Or do you have to start as a package handler and work your way up?
In my location you can apply directly to be a temporary seasonal driver. In order to become a full-time driver, you'll have to work your way up.
Akemi awesome thanks man!
Cam Flaherty you have to work you're way up
Hey I was wondering do you get paid weekly or every two weeks and how much per hour?
Hey QuickSilver!
The payment schedule may vary based on location but I get paid once a week on Thursday nights leading up to Friday morning. You have the option of getting a check or direct deposit. I chose direct deposit for convenience. However on the first two weeks, your pay will be processed via check which you have to pick up from the office. I was not notified of this until I asked my coworkers.
As for the pay, for my state if you are a part-time package handler like a loader, sorter, or unloader, you'll make minimum wage with healthcare and pension benefits which is $11. The benefits come after 400 hrs of service. However, since I am working full time as a summer temporary, I do not need the healthcare and pension benefits so my pay is a flat $18.75 per hour. Also keep in mind that you'll be paying off the dues for the union from each check which will be an additional $150~$500 over time depending on your state.
As for a tip, make sure you ask your coworkers/supervisors/managers if you have any questions regarding the job. I learned a lot of things from my coworkers that I didn't get from the training. If your body physically can't handle packages, make sure you ask coworkers for help and also keep yourself hydrated.
Was there other people at the interview or was it just you? And what did you have to wear for the job interview?
lizbeth maya! Any answers?
Ayy that's the Massachusetts one you're at. I recognize it.
500 dollars no thanks
What’s funny is that when I applied, I immediately got orientation with my application being approved in a matter of 3 days total with the job coming out as $15.00 an hour as a part time package handler.
@Shi idk well I got the job, it’s decent paying, however, what’s hard is that certain people make it harder.
This video was 3 years ago
how much do they make an hour?
I am going for an interview tomorrow. Not nervous. Excited for the benefits esp. I am Jamaican so I won’t mind the hard work. Been doing that most of my life and I love a job that keeps me moving ....
I am re-applying for UPS packages handlers, didn't get hire the first time for other position, I know it's hard work there, but I wanna do it.. for part-time, can't be too bad..
You got this!
Thx man.. Come to think about it, more likely I won't do it.
Well, I did.. I went back to UPS website my profile, just finished up my application "today", had a long month thought about it.. Anyway, at the end of application it said about next I will get email, and a schedule for orientation.( Not sure how long I have to wait?).. I've been wanted to do a long term part-time job.. Guess, I'm looking forward for a hard hard work.. Guess, I'm gonna do it, if I get and email back from them... (Thx, JayworkonTV).. Actually. My in-low relative used to be a supervisor at Greensboro NC years back, he quit went to Fedex now.. I don't plan to be supervisor like him, I just want a part time job... So, fingers-crossed
Based Shaud I just left after working there for 6 months
Did they tell you that if you go as a supervisor you lose your union benefits?
No they didnt. Just got hired
Thank man I really enjoyed this I have a interview in 2 days for a package handler but I want to be a supervisor how long does it take
Is this a good job to have in the summer for an incoming college freshman student ?

Hey thanks a lot
No problem! Glad I can be of help =)
Do ups need collected??
Do you have to dress up professionally for the interview? Or would anything work? What do you suggest?
AOMechMarine AOMechMarine Awesome advice thank you.
Marco Perez dress professionally for any interview! 👍 First impressions are important!
For any other job, yes. But for UPS, seeing how they have a high turnover rate. I'd go with jeans and a dress shirt. Any other job, dress to impress
Did they ask you any questions during interview? Or did they just explain the job? I have an appointment next week. What does that mean.
zak hamlin I have an appointment tomorrow gonna be my first job ever kinda nervous not gonna lie
@@aintralphthohoe2597 howd it go?
I'm be hired for Fed x handler so I dont know
Did they sit you down and ask you any typical job interview questions like most people dread?
Gyanrosling just the really simple ones like why do you want to work here and why you feel like you're fit for the job. They also drill down the rigor of the job too so you have an idea of what to expect.
What city is he in?
Hey I'm going to college at the same time I have classes on Tuesday and Thursday do you think they would let me off those days?
When I came in to interview, the HR seemed very accommodating to UPS workers going to college at the same time. I'm pretty sure you can schedule your work around school if they're notified ahead of time. I know for a fact that they'll always be hiring due to the high turnover rate.
Nope..
Most shift are overnight, if you not available the days on the shift,
They will not hire you...
