UPS Part Time Operations Supervisor reviews

The starting pay is less than to be desired, less than a living wage (8.50/hr). There are regular raises however. Opportunities for advancement as a PT Package Handler are nearly none... As UPS is Union, all advancement is based on seniority. 8 or 9 years may be enough in order to go from a 3-hour job to a 6-hour job, but the minimum for getting a full-time (8-hour) position is 13 years! It is similarly difficult to advance within the management tracks from a PT supervisor, however, the opportunities and skills acquired over even a brief tenure as a PT supervisor are invaluable when seeking full-time employment elsewhere.

When me and 3 other coworkers were hired we were told about pay being 9.50 from day one, benefits starting by the 3rd month, and raises every August and February. They did NOT tell us that policies had changed, so instead we started at 8.50, had to wait 3 months to get pay bumped up to 9.50, didn't get benefits until after a year, and no raises(other than after the 3 month probation period) during the 1st year. I worked at the airport hub which required waking up at 4 in the morning (excruciating!). The company decided to cut corners and bring in less planes, so hours were cut to a mere hour and 45 minutes a day!
