This is probably the closest thing to true. But it depends. As a rule of thumb, the ORS salary was typically about what a top rate driver made working 45 hours/week. It has probably slipped some I would guess. But, there is no progression, so you don't have to wait 4 years for top rate. On average, an ORS probably works more than 45 hours a week. But that depends on a lot of factors, many of which the ORS has some control over. There were times I worked 80 hour weeks. There were a few times (admittedly not often) I worked 30 or less hour weeks. I got paid the same. Both of my daughters were born during the years I was a full time operations supervisor, and I made sure I went with my wife to every ultrasound appointment for both without ever taking a personal day. For a FT management person, it is about covering your responsibilities, not about the hours worked. As was pointed out, if you advance to center manager, the pay goes up significantly.
FT management are salary. They do not get OT no matter how many forms they fill out. This statement is totally ignorant. As stated before, if you work 80hrs, or 0 hours, same pay.
ORS does not have a union. The rest of this statement is totally false. You cannot be fired for just any reason. If your manager, or Division Manager, or District Manager want you gone, they will have to go through HR and show cause. It is a much different employee/employer relationship than with the union, so, if you are jerk and have no ability to develop and maintain positive interpersonal relationships in a professional setting with the people you report to, then the job is not for you. ( BTW, that last sentence was a test, if you read it and thought "Yeah, he means if you aren't willing to kiss your bosses ass", then, guess what? You are a jerk and have no idea how to develop and maintain positive interpersonal relationships with the people you report to, and the job is not for you.) During my career I had 2 Division managers and an OPS manager who wanted a UPS without me involved (probably mostly because they thought I was a smart ass with a cavalier attitude. I know right?
) The closest they came was when I was pressured to take a special assignment. Turned out to be the best assignment of my career, go figure. It was a lot of travel, but I enjoyed it, and after the assignment I went on my next 3 or 4 vacations on airline miles and hotel points acquired on UPS' dime.
You will be expected to pitch in and occasionally go above and beyond. But this 24/7 on call is simply not true. I worked preload or twilight occasionally, did many special assignments. During the disaster that was peak '13 I went on a ready team to Utah, Oklahoma, and CACH. None of them were on less than 24 hour prior notice, and none of them were strictly non-voluntary. Had I had family issues that would have made them a hardship, I could have simply told my boss and refused to go. As it turned out, I loved all three. The OK assignment ended on Dec 23rd and I flew home the morning of Dec 24th, and reported directly to my center of course (if you believe that, I have bridge you might be interested in). Spending a Christmas eve with family and friends during one of the worst Peaks in memory was a nice perk that I can say for a certainty none of the drivers in my center enjoyed. No, that is not a reason to take the job, but it was nice.
