Permanent on call

[Newbrown92]

Hello everyone, I have a job at ups here in buffalo and I was just curious to learn more insight. They said the position can lead to full time. And I start at $30 an hour but then go down too $21 once January hit cause I guess that's what the starting scale is. Also the position has benefits that start 6 months in. I'm just trying to see how hours are going too be I know I'll get at least 40 everyweek due to it being busy still. The manager told me that it does get slow in January but they try too work you enough so you keep you insurance. Is this position good for my foot in the door.


Also manager said they will be adding more sleeper teams soon and he said alot of the older guys don't want it. He also said that's easily a six figure job. Is he telling the truth? Also what's the schedule and pay scale on that like?

Sorry for so much I'm extremely excited and grateful for the opportunity for me and my family. I'm 27. Im hoping this can be my reti job.

I wouldnt trust a damn thing management says to you. Youre seasonal and will be let go of as soon as convinient for the company

 

[Newbrown92]

You think? Cause their were two separate ads. On advertise seasonal and this one was permanent on call.

When management talks, its best to just assume they are lying.

You LOSE pay rate after working a couple of months?
HELL. NO.

Oh yeah, that was the seasonal teaser rate. Now he begins with the off the street progression pay. The insurance thing is a mystery. Wouldn't get benefits until seniority plus 30.

But what do I know

Not much, evidently

We would call that a reg temp here. They pretty much work everyday unless it's really slow.
You go through progression just like a regular driver but you're considered part time

I love the UPS hiring website .....”now hiring seasonal permanent part-time”

you know management is lying when their lips are moving

 

[Newbrown92]

So should I be concerned here? I've really excited now I'm terrified. I thought this was a great opportunity. He said by year four I'm at 38 an hour. Also sleeper teams are going too open up.

Yes you should be concerned.
And I even think about sleep run you not even hired yet, you need some seniority to get those

He said after like a year and a half I should be good. You guys all got me terrified

I know it's different everywhere but it's close to 20 years to get on a driving feeder here

Honestly, its what everyone here says. Dont sign anything for a temp job on promises they'll hire you full time down the road. Either sign for a 22.4 or article 40. Those are the full time jobs. Even then, youll only get it if you qualify.

Nothing here at ups is guaranteed. No matter what HR, the union or managers tell you. We never know anything until literally the day it happens.

You’re nothing but a breathing body. Don’t trust one thing they tell you. They lie to all the temp workers. I’m not saying you won’t be hired permanently. It happens. But right now don’t believe a word they tell you. Yes sleepers is a six figure job. If you were hired permanent it would take 4 years to get to full rate.

Believe 0% of what management tells you, 1% of what they put in writing and 90% of what you get from your fellow employees. The other 9% you will figure out on your own.

Good Luck. Amazon delivering all over Tonawanda, Niagara, Grand Island, Orchard Park & the entire Erie county.

That Bezos is spoiling his Amazon employees with all the loot he has---can't get organized in that door. So you got the right attitude for a future resume.

IDK anything about amazon, I'm just trying to put my tim in and set myself up for success at UPS
