[QUOTE="TheBlackLung, post: 3434091, member: 71754"] I recently applied for package delivery driver at the farmingville location. Went to the orientation which they originally make it sound like an interview. They told me to come back the next day for an interview. I did and the guy calls you in to a room one at a time, asks you two questions and gives you information to go for the DOT and set up a road test. But he also says this isn't really the interview and the job isn't guaranteed, that I need to pass the road test then go to training school in queens and then they'll give me the opportunity to prove my self with 40 hours of work and if I can do that I'm in. But I could be off a week or two or maybe only work a few days here and there. So I talk to an actual ups driver about it and he says it's possible after all that that you may not even work for 6 months after you proved yourself with the 40 hours. My question is are they hiring people in an assembly line to get them to work about 40 hours and have you work here and there just so they don't have to have you on the books as a full time employee and not have to pay out benefits or pension. I know of other businesses doing that. When my girlfriend is off from her job on Fridays and Saturdays she temps at stony brook dental. Everyone working there is a temp with the exception or the dr's. They do this so they don't have to pay out benifits. If anyone has any insight it would be greatly appreciated as I work full time now at what I'd call a dead end job but i can't afford to not really be working for that long. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
