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

[dookie stain]

You probably got your degree from auburn that's your problem right there boy.

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

You forecast...like a weather man...we all know how often they're right...no wonder I get crapped on every day.

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.

They just eliminated one OC position in each center here.

There are more than just ORS jobs in this company.

Get a job at coyote logistics. They are running the show now

IE has been irrelevant since 1992.

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.

Thanks for all the information. What's doing my 30? I'm working on the DOT currently.

Where are they located?

 

[J92]

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?

Yes. I check it everyday. Unfortunately, no real openings for FT yet.

Raises are every April and pathetic and no bonuses

We still get holiday pay though, right?

 

[J92]

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.

3-5% on a hourly wage isn't much. I'm taking advantage of the tuition reimbursement for my CPA at the moment. 401k and health insurance suck here. Any other benefits?

No. I actually got my degree from a top business school. I triple majored and double minored around business areas. You would think that would be enough to land a decent career.

What else is there? Can you transition from package operations elsewhere?

 

[dookie stain]

No. I actually got my degree from a top business school. I triple majored and double minored around business areas. You would think that would be enough to land a decent career.

I make more than 90% of my friends with degrees and I'm not even top scale yet...it's crazy out there

 

[FrigidFTSup]

What's doing my 30? I'm working on the DOT currently.

Qualifying on car

 

[FrigidFTSup]

We still get holiday pay though, right?

Yes. And it is still double time on Black Friday if you work

 

[FrigidFTSup]

No. I actually got my degree from a top business school. I triple majored and double minored around business areas. You would think that would be enough to land a decent career.

With the exception of a few jobs in this company, what your degree is in is meaningless. I majored in Commercial Aviation. Have my licenses and rated to fly jets. Literally nothing of what I learned is applicable to my daily job. Experience drives advancement here.

 

[FrigidFTSup]

What else is there? Can you transition from package operations elsewhere?

Sure. You just have to look. There's plenty out there if you're willing to move.
