Pros
Recently the company has cared about “work life balance” and the sanity of their supervisors.
Cons
Managing Union employees can be tough but if you treat them right (just like any leadership position) and build relationships that makes it easy. The pay and benefits gap between On Road Supervisors and Drivers is horrendous. An On Road Supervisor has to train a driver from day one the Saftey and performance methods outlined by the company and are required to know anything and everything all while being an adaptive teacher to the many different drivers they train in their career. To top it off an On Road Supervisor has to demonstrate everything a driver at UPS needs to do to be successful. They are required to hold their drivers/employees accountable, and are responsible for when a driver doesn’t demonstrate the proper safety and performance methods. Essentially driving the majority of the Operations to perform and make service to our customers. BUT we are paid ok for what we do, BUT THEN AGAIN it only takes one bad knee to financially set an on road sup back. Other than that little thing to complain about My job is awesome. Seriously. It’s awesome that our drivers get taken care of without having to contribute to health care benefits and retirement. I just wish the company would realized the importance of taking care of their Management so they don’t get bogged down and are incentivized to push Safety, service, performance, and any other operational needs the company might have.
