new hire

I'm healthy, active, and would want to work until 67. I'm in the interview process now, and keeping an eye on the strike. Any comments?

New Member Hello, I work this past year as a casual feeder driver for the holidays, and was told at the end of the season that I had made the top 10 call back list. Sure enough 4 months later (present time) I get a call from HR asking me if I still wanted the feeder position? Of course I said...

Hi people! I just got hired by UPS in Atlanta, GA! My start date is this Monday. Any tips or advice for a newbie like myself??? What can I expect?

I'm a new hire package handler at the CACH facility near the Chicagoland. Was told they had an PT mechanic opening. Is it really worth it and what are chances of going full time? I'm assuming they are IAM Local 701. Have 8 years experience and was previous 701 member.

Hi everybody, I am a new-hire PT package handler working the Preload shift at a moderately large (imo) center in the Midwest(we have 5-6 different colored belts with my belt containing ~12 trucks...is that large? Sorry I am new :P ). I've been with UPS for little over a month+1/2 now and am...

Hey everyone, Obviously I'm a new hire right before peak and am going on my third week of preloading. Yesterday I got called into the office for having 16 misloads mostly from mis-stacking. Yesterday, I had three, so now they moved me further up the belt, which I like better, but a sup checked...

Hello everyone, I am a new hire as of May 30, 2017. I started at the base pay of $10.20 an hour. I was told as of June 13, 2017 I should have been receiving $11 an hour. Up until yesterday, when I was first told it would be an issue, I was working six days a week. I had spoke with HR and that...

What are the pros and cons and what should I look out for. I am going through the training phase right now and just wanted to know what to expect so I could be a little ahead of the game. Any experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Today was my first day, and I loved it, till the driver came onto the truck and went off (to her self) that I didn't load the truck right and said to herself the loader should be fired. I was told to put the boxes where they go like the 1000,2000,3000 and so forth and I did, however I didn't...

I was hired to be a pt ODC sup off the street, but received an offer to be a restaurant manager a day later. The odc pays $16 at 27.5 hrs per week. The restaurant job pays base salary of $48k and I'll work 5 ten hour shifts. I've been a restaurant manager for years and I'm trying to find a...

Hey guys. So I'm a new peak season hire (Dec '16). I took the position of a package handler just to have some extra income until I graduate in May. However, I did NOT expect to love the job so much or think I would even be good at it since I am a female. I'm about 2 months in and my PT sup has...

Does UPS Drug screen new hires and if so when do they do it. I know they have to do a background check and that usually takes up to 2 weeks so do they do it after that. BTW The position is a part-time supervisor

Last year I worked at UPS during the holiday season as a temp while I was living with my folks. I recently moved back from Maui but the job i lined up didn't work out. Since UPS was a cool gig I reapplied a few weeks ago and had an interview. They said I might need to take a drug test. Anyhow a...

As a preloader I could sit here and say you drivers and etc don't have tough days but y'all have to deal with PEOPLE through out your day so I know I don't really have it that bad. I've been in customer service for 7 years I know it sucks. When you get that tough day, what gets you through it?

Just a rant. I get to work 20 - 40 minutes early everyday. Clerk saw me setting up the belt like she has many times and says "wish you guys would stop coming in early and working off the clock". I tried to explain that I was just setting up cause it helps me get ready to just start loading my...

Hello everyone hope your Friday is going well. I just have a question about multiple bulk stops for one truck. What do I do with them? Where do I put them? I get these bulk stops everyday but todays one was particularly big, especially for this truck. I always get 3 bulks for the same places...

No real reason to tell you guys this, but it kinda looks good. Just a random story to brighten your day or make you say "wtf?".

Hi, so Im pretty excited to start but I had a few questions. I understand that we (part time) dont get payed holidays until a year in, but does that mean we need to work on the observed holidays (Christmas,Thanksgiving etc)? Also am I allowed to request days off? Thank you.

I got started on belt one of three. It's a small center. A supervisor is telling me I shouldn't have been started on that belt but i think it'll make me a better preloader in the end. I really like this job so far.

I worked at UPS as seasonal temp help last christmas during my senior year of high school. I reapplied after graduation for part-time package handler. I was told during the interview I wouldn't need to take another drug test due to previous results. But about a week later I received a call from...
