[QUOTE="CACH117, post: 1335099, member: 53478"] At some point you'll be hired. I filled an app and randomly they called me to come in a month or so later. Took a tour started the following Monday. I work in CACH as a loader/unloader,and it's hard work. Decide what you want to do from the first shift. I decided I'm only staying until I graduate college and in the mean time make as much money as possible. That path led me to a part time supervisor which I test for tomorrow, however I will say this. If you're looking to stay long term, stay hourly. I see the way these employees behave and respond to sups, and their union is what they have to fall back on. If you show them just how much you can work, they will work you into dehydration, at the same time telling you to drink water as a PCM. I've been there 42 days, work two trailers as well as first picked to help other outbounds, while nearly everyone else just builds false walls and gets to go home closer to 4 hours than 6. Your pay is abysmal, at best without working doubles, you're looking at 150 a week. Flow sometimes gets extremely backed up, rarely will you have someone to help you. Hell I've struggled to keep my two loads just below the bell sounding and still been pulled to clean another load before continuing with my own. With all that said, the benefits in my situation outweigh the negatives. If you're not in school, the initial pay and benefits at a different place of work will exceed UPS. Even staying a couple years as a loader/unloader won't reach what some jobs around here pay from day one. It's up to you to decide if you want to work for UPS, or make UPS work for you. [/QUOTE]
