[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 191826, member: 9789"] The main reason for the tour is to give you a quick orientation of what to expect. There is a big cost associated with the hiring process. If you go through all the training and decide to quit after one day or 1 week on the job, UPS is out a lot of money and the operation is one week further behind in the hiring process. Depending on where you work...there are perks for working such as tuition reimbursement as well as other benefits that few other companies give to PT employees. Ask a lot of questions on your tour. Your HR Rep also has a pretty good idea of where they are looking to assign you. Most PT jobs are either load or unload positions in a hub or package center. The conditions below must be met to retain your position after probation. Dependability - you will not keep your job if you are not there to work on time every planned work day Performance - be able to unload (rule of thumb) 1000 packages an hour or load approx 450 packages an hour. The average weight of a package is 18 lbs. Your job will require you to work safely and avoid injuries as well as provide certain quality performance standards - ask your HR Rep what is expected in these areas. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
