Don’t have a screen shot, but basically UPS corporate has decided to get out of the grooming standards game. On paper, everything from a neatly trimmed bear to ZZ Top is fine. I wouldn’t show up as a new hire with a beard, but it is happening with every class so clearly it can be done. Facial tattoos, piercings (that don’t interfere with mask wear), etc are all welcomed in the Brown multicultural paradise. That said, being far out of the industry norm could cause issues for commuters or even with some more traditional fellow crew members. YMMV, use your judgement.

Life is like that. We can’t have all the peasants thinking they are entitled to choosing their grooming standards. If I had a giant bushy beard, and someone tried to say it was unprofessional, I would point to a bushy bearded president and ask how they defined professional.
