Isn’t that the very definition of a hiring pool

Plus it wasn’t long ago UPS placed people in a pool for months and even years before getting a class. Long running pool is not a new thing here. Covid stopped it briefly.

Well, yes, but it makes no sense to keep increasing the pool when it’s far bigger than you need. IMO, it just causes folks to move on and lose faith in actually working for Brown if they have to wait that long. Then w/ first year pay what it is, it’d be hard to leave another major if you've already been there for months.

I dunno. Since I'm on property, I stopped keeping track. But it is important to remember that if you're in the pool. You're not guaranteed the next class date.

There is a famous saying around here, “UPS manages to make money hand over fist year after year despite themselves”.

It obviously varies over time, but this is accurate for ~2 years ago. I sat for 5 months, and I was on the high side in my class, although not the longest. I think that guy was at 9. Take it for what it's worth, as ever.
