My preliminary interview was great. I met with the Human Resources Supervisor at the Alexandria office and, in my opinion, personified everything you would expect from a professional interview. She was polite but direct with her questions. She was also understanding with many of the other applicants, some of whom did not bring along all of the necessary paperwork. She had me up and running in their system in just under an hour, and this was while conducting interviews with 8 other applicants! She assigned me to the Newington office and had me go there to do my training modules. That’s when I met the Human Resources representative for that building. His demeanor from the onset was the polar opposite from my experience with the HR Supervisor. From the minute I walked in, I felt like I was bothering him, like I was imposing on his time. As I was there for training, I decided to just have patience and let it go, because we all have bad days. The second day I went in for training was worse than the first. I spoke to him the day before and advised him that I had gotten my DOT physical and he asked that I bring it in because it was very important. We agreed to meet at 10 instead of 9 because he was conducting interviews. I got there at 9:50 and, being a secure facility, I needed to wait in the guard shack for him to get me. I called up to his office to let him know that I was in the guard shack and he explained that his interviews were still running and that I would have to wait in the guard shack until he was done. I asked him if I should just leave the DOT paperwork there and come back tomorrow for training. He raised his voice and said "I told you to just wait in the guard shack. I'll come down and get you when I’m done." I was somewhat concerned by the tone he had just taken with me but I had a seat and waited, chalking this up to “another tough day”. It took him 45 minutes to come down to the hot guard shack. While waiting, I had gone out to my car, which was 30 feet from the guard shack, to retrieve another pen and I had apparently missed him but I could see him walking away from the guard shack. Because it is a secure facility, I couldn’t immediately follow him because I had to empty my pockets and go through the metal detector. Upon catching up with him at the office, he had a stern face and he told me to sit in the training office. I remind you that I am not there for an interview at this point, but to continue my training. When he came back into the training office, I asked if he wanted my DOT paperwork. He made solid eye contact with me and, without skipping a beat, called his next interviewee into his office. Strike one for me. I sat and waited, and, in the interim, tried to log in to the training portal to at least get the training modules done. As with any tech savvy company, UPS has several pages you must log in to before you can access the training program. I didn't have the right credentials, apparently, and couldn’t log in. When he returned to the office, I asked him if there was a specific password I needed in order to access the training modules. Again, we made eye contact and he called in his next interviewee. Strike two for me. I was frustrated but I didn’t want to ruin an opportunity to work for UPS so I decided to remain patient and wait for him to come back. About 10 minutes later, the HR Supervisor came into the office, I guess to make sure the interviews were going ok. The HR rep from this building came into the training office about 30 seconds after her. They spoke for a few seconds and, as he was about to leave the office again, I asked him how to log in to get the training modules done. He once again, made eye contact, turned on his heels, and called the next interviewee into his office. I can understand having a busy day and being pulled in a few different directions but, when you are an HR representative for a major company as big as UPS, there are standards to uphold, a look the company expects you to maintain, a demeanor that is expected from you. The HR rep at this building did not personify anything that I know UPS to stand for. He was very condescending and left myself and another pre-hire feeling like we were imposing on him. He should definitely revisit his "best practices" or whatever UPS uses to train their HR personnel. His behavior was outrageous and completely unprofessional. I was offered a different opportunity elsewhere, so it all worked out for me in the end but, with a roadblock like an unprofessional HR rep in place, UPS stands to lose a lot of potential talent. Most people aren’t going to be as patient as I was. His personal hangups are just that, personal. As such, they have no business in the workplace. My hope is that they rectify his situation so that the company can continue to grow as it has for the past 111 years or so.
