[QUOTE="AllOnTheHorses, post: 1938807, member: 52030"] If you are looking for an early AM or late night part time job.. UPS might be a good fit. (You could even go on to drive and make a lot of money.. but drivers get paid well because they cannot plan anything in the evenings.. at least until they have their own route; which can take years). The hours fluctuate with the amount of packages going through your building. If you are a part-timer.. loading or unloading etc.. Thanksgiving to mid-January you may very easily be going in at 1 or 2 AM (earlier if weather has created a backup of packages.. 11pm a few times for me) and getting out close to 9am. Early AM unload gets out the earliest and starts a bit earlier as well. The hours are really something to consider.. I know people with second jobs and did preload.. it is hard to do that for long. Promotion within UPS (for the most part) means going into management which is not as good (I am told) financially, nor time-wise, if you make it a career. BTW you can sell back accrued vacation.. but you will have put in years to get to where it is worth it. edit- sorry to sound so negative... it's a tough job.. they pay well for it. The benefits as far as insurance are tough to beat.. and that is for part time work. Finding that anywhere else is NOT easy. [/QUOTE]
