I know exactly where darksideofjae is coming from. In addition to that, it's very dusty, loud, and somewhat dangerous. Turnover is crazy and my part time supervisor is always yelling at us to "flow harder!" Every morning when I get home, I blow out black snot and find new bruises.

That said, I guess you're right. The benefits are supposed to be really good, especially for part time work. The union does the negotiating for you but from what I hear, new hires don't have it quite as good as far as benefits and pay are concerned compared to before. A few years ago, I hear that they were being paid over $10/hr and the probationary period was only 30days. Now you get $8.85 and the probationary period is 90 working days.

But hey snoopy, I think if you go in there with a plan (driver, parttime sup, fulltime sup, degreed position), then it's awesome. If not, then, well, like darksideofjae and I, you'll become quite dissatisfied with the pay and work. I guess it's different for different people. I think brtecson works at UPS so long timers like him would be a better source of info.
