Benefits of a Part-Time Supervisor / Landing a Full-Time Position

[J92]

Do you even work for UPS? You seem to know nothing for someone who does. I have never heard of a part-time on-road sup.

Yes. I do my research. Below is a link to the flex (new thing) and part-time on-road sup. positions. Honestly, I think it's just another way to cut down costs for the company and marginalize employees.

Interesting. Sound like an analyst role. I wonder if the pay is good? Does IE stand for something?

Industrial Engineer probably.

industrial engineering is basically industrial analysis; you forecast volume, develop operating plans, create work standards/goals for the ops to follow, troubleshoot problem operations, and generally serve as the support for division managers and above

IE is the favorite scapegoat for the chronically bad-at-math people this company retains for god knows why

it's not engineering at all it's just analysis but that's a fight to have with the dictionary man

Your raises will be yearly following your annual review. How much you get is a percentage of your current hourly wage. If you score highly on your review you'll get a better raise. Something like 3-5%.

You won't get pay raises for being ESTA certified (every supervisor is ESTA certified) nor for being an acceptance auditor/trainer, a responder, or even LLAR certified.

As for benefits you get healthcare (that you pay for) and 401k. Tuition reimbursement is also a thing.

That's the perfect answer

I was wondering what are the raises for part-time sup's? Are there any bonuses?

Raises are every April and pathetic and no bonuses

 

[FrigidFTSup]

It's hard advancing from a part time to to a full time sup. You may have to get transferred.

It's not that hard anymore. Now is probably the best time to get into the company for management if you want a FT spot.

Do you know what the raises are for PT management? I doubt that this given but do they have bonuses? I'd figure I could ask for a pay raise based on merit with me having a degree. I got a lot of certifications at UPS (HAZMAT certified, ESTA certified, yard certified, etc.) and I'm cleared on my medical examination. I still need to pass the drive test to be DOT certified for the package cars at least. I think the FT sups above me are trying to utilize me as a on-road sup part-time. Not sure.

All of those certs are meaningless and don't make you stand out at all. Sorry to be blunt, but it's true.

Every PT Sup is ESTA and Yard Certified. Hazmat acceptance auditor or responder? Just doing the hazmat module is worthless. Again something everybody does.

Get your DOT and do your 30. That will help you. PT On Roads is a new thing going around the company with Saturday delivery. That may provide an opportunity. Called Flex.

I got my resume passed along to in the Accounting and Finance Department in Indianapolis. I also had my resume passed on in the Cincy IT department. I'll pass on sales/business development and I think Operations FT is really a seniority and sucking it up to your boss deal. I just wanted to see if you guys had any tips.

Check out Management Career Opportunities on UPSers and then apply. Don't count on a resume getting anywhere

IE has been irrelevant since 1992.

I've tried but it's a tough market. I moved from Indianapolis to Cincinnati just to have a job. Is their no definite path here at UPS?

In UPsers there is a job openings section that can be set up to alert you to job openings that you may be looking for. have you tried it?
