UPS Part Time Package Handler interview questions

Applied online. Left before interview. After filling out the requested information, I was assigned to a warehouse tour with several others. Our guide was punctual, well-kept and well-spoken, but admitted early on he was himself new to the company. He informed us well of the details and opportunities, but cared little for our own expressed concerns. While showing applicants the process of loading the trucks, visibly and by our guide's own admission a more dangerous job than is generally understood, he pointed out the lack of proper illumination from the warehouse and mentioned that the lights within the trailers often burn out while reminding us of UPS' prohibition on employee electronics. When asked if the prohibition applied to safety equipment, including flashlights, the guide flustered for a moment before re-stating that employees are prohibited from bringing electronics inside the warehouse, and I quote, "...because we ship everything and [...] could take it from a customer's box." When asked whether this restriction was a violation of industrial safety standards, he had no comment. Our guide also appeared confused when asked about the location of medical kits, a question which had to be re-phrased twice. He then pointed out exactly one small kit on a wall, mentioned that the kits were above every clock-in station, and explained that the kits were not to be used or approached without approval of the on-shift supervisor. Through the rest of the tour, he did not point out any further first-aid kits or clock-in stations, even when expressly asked for their locations. At the end of the tour, applicants were asked as a group to schedule appointments for private interviews on the following Monday before leaving. Weighing the information provided on working conditions, requirements and benefits, including salaries, as well as the information directly withheld and my own knowledge of a personal contact's difficulties with the company following an on-the-job injury at another warehouse, I declined the follow-up interview and left the premises on good terms.

You show up to a group interview of 30+ people. They pull you aside in groups where you answer questions, then follow it up with individual, one on one questions. If they like you they bring you back for a more personal interview. You get a start date, receive training for a week, then you're out there working. What you learned in the videos and what you are taught first-hand can vary. i.e. knocking down walls of packages to speed up truck unloading as opposed to using the step-stool to unload packages safely one by one as in the safety video.
