What's the difference

[DougH]

So I've heard talks about hubs and centers, what's the difference? The ups I'm trying to get a job at it a customer center. Any pros and cons as far as employment goes?

A hub feeds (supplies) many centers.

Hubs are the central point in state/area that packages for that state/area pass through and sorted to the different centers. Another way to think about it is like a bicycle wheel; hub is the axle, and the centers that hub services are the spokes.

Okay I think I get the idea now... Thanks... so will there be any benifits to working at a center rather than a hub?

I work at a hub that has two centers, and that is the way to go. Centers alone are generally smaller with not as much chance to advance as fast, or to change jobs. There may be less people ahead of you in a center, but not as many openings every year. Feeder jobs are mainly based out of hubs.

, I couldn't even guess where the hub is for my area. Might be stuck climbing the ranks at the center.

Hub is the building itself.

Centers are where the pc's report to.
The loop they deliver, part of town.

Without giving away too much personal information, what state do you live in?

It doesn't really matter, Dave. If these two guys are the future of UPS, the future looks bleak.

I look around at some of our new hires and think the same thing.

Where I work at the hub is the building itself. There are about 4 centers inside the hub.

Who are the valve stems?

Who are the valve stems?

That would be the sups, since they leak out a lot of air.

 

[joeboodog]

I have worked in both a package center and a hub center and they all have the same problems.

Nomenclature is different everywhere. But I'm wrong...
