Okay, this is a bit complicated. I know there will be many answers... and that is what I am hoping for. -And also many questions. I just really need to know the areas, states, cities, and maybe the exact practice in each Hub/Satellite. -And a little inside advice from any management out there.
I left UPS for the last time as a P/T manager many years ago. I have returned once since then. I left with an excellent rating as a P/T supervisor in a Hub. I was known throughout the Region. I only left because I moved and I was in a small terminal with little movement for friend/T. (5 years or more for friend/T management). During my career, I was always offered any P/T position in my District. -But never out of District. (To go out of District, I would have to quit and re-apply Directly in the new District and fore-go a transfer).
I miss UPS terribly. Depending on who you ask or where you go, people say that UPS doesn't re-hire. But I have never had a problem being re-hire material. My biggest obstacle is the HR people that I speak to, do not have PERMISSION to re-hire ME in management past what I left as. I would have to start as a P/T Supervisor, or go out and get a technical IE or computer degree, or be hired as an outsider. I am wondering if anyone knows of any area that has a list and is ready to hire off of that outside list. I was even told in my interviews that I would be put at the top of such a list.
Can anyone tell me where they are hiring Full Time Managers off the street in a 6-1 or 5-1 ratio? I have been a Building Manager, and don't mind dropping 3 levels. But I'm not in the position to take an 80% pay cut for P/T supervisor. (I MAY be able to swing it for 6 months, based on my savings. But once my saving run out, I would no longer be able to survive).
I've had interviews and get offered P/T Supervisor positions before I even leave the interview. (The last time, I started within 24 hours. I was bonded right after the interview. I only re-hired once. But I've had no problem getting interviews).
I lost track of one of my Metro Region contacts in HR. He was the HR Director in Island City. I'm trying to find him. He may have the ability to bring me in on a 6-1 within a year, or pull me in as P/T and fast tack me within 6 months. (I can only survive 6 months on a P/T salary, after being a Building Manager).
I don't know if I would trust too many other people to come in at P/T than this guy. I've seen too many people use over qualified people and retire, get promoted, transfer and leave people twisting in the wind.
I'm not too proud to be P/T, but there are few guarantees, and I did get burned once already. I really miss the company and the people. I tried the online site, but was rejected because I was a past employee. But every time I have called a Satellite directly, I have always been referred to the District HR guy and have always been offered the position at which I left at, anywhere in their District.
If I can find my former District HR Manager, I would be in great luck. But I can't seem to find his e-mail or where he is at. He has access to the Metro Region in New Jersey - I think. (He use to be in Island City in NY). But I will move anywhere and do almost anything. I have his name.
I have been in the industry since January 26, 1990. I spent my first year as a package handler and have gone on to be a building manager. I'm a Black Female. (That's one of the reasons why people were almost foaming at the mouth in my interviews). I had an excellent career at UPS, I'm an excellent Manager, and I'm a Black female to boot.
I miss UPS, and I'm dying to come back. I just want as much feed back as possible. I just want to know the areas and people who are in need of good managers and who I can call directly. I'm 39 years old and I have done 17 hour days and gone to work 6 days a week to get it done. I'd rather do those kinds of hours at UPS than anywhere else. (I've been there and seen it all, and I'd like to come home now).
I've got options:
1- Take an 80% pay cut and go from a Building Manager to a P/T Sup. and try to get into an area where a friend/T position will open up in 6 months time, before my saving run out.
2-Save enough money to work at UPS as a P/T Sup for 1 year and hope
something opens up after peak.
3-Find out a 5-1 0r 6-1 Region/District/Hub/Satellite where they are apt
to hire me off of the street.
4-Get an IE or computer degree and get hired off the street.
I know that every area and even every building has its quirks. In my past UPS Hub, no one got to management without 6 months of driving under their belt. And even then, they could leave you out there for a year or more. And even sometimes, people had to drive for 2 years because their was a change in management, or they transferred someone in from across the country to fill the friend/T position, and left you out driving. Then there are places that fast track you because of the temperament of the Region, Division, or Building Manager. (And everyone hops on the band wagon before that person retires, transfers or leaves the area). If anyone knows of any Regional contacts that can hire me from the outside, or fast track me.
And now for the bad news...I was never required at other companies to get a CDL. (Fed Ex never required me to). But I have driven package cars on the road for Fed Ex Ground and driven Trailers and put them on doors in the yard. (I can only boast of 5 minute switches, but you'd probably be able to sit down and eat some popcorn if I tried to put a trailer on the door in less than 10 minutes without any brush up work). LOL I can probably get a CDL with a week-2 weeks of practice.
I can do anything from Dock Sup, Sort Manager, Center Manager, PD Manager, Yard Manager, IE Planing, Safety, OSHA, Package Service Center, Customs, Building Manager, and I was in grooming for District Management.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
Thanks... in advance
