UP Human Resources recruiters have a harder job than cleaning the toilets at Taco Bell.

UP is a broken record player. In addition, there is nothing useful on these pages anymore. People know how to moan and complain, but to share useful info. . . nope, can't do that.

The UP culture for the past 6 years. Screw over or screw whoever you need to.
