[QUOTE="NoleInOmaha, post: 1654059, member: 58543"] A little about me - I'm 28 and have been looking for a PT job to go along with my other PT job. I currently work for Hy-Vee (midwest grocery chain) and worked overnights there for 4 years, so moving boxes, deconstructing pallets, moving boxes from A to B is nothing new to me. I was FT there, but dropped down to PT and moved to a Day shift (may go back FT, undecided). Basically, I have a financial goal that I would like to accomplish the next 6 months. I applied to be a night (5pm-10pm) package handler. I know the pay is not super, but the benefits (after a year?) are. considering its PT work for FT benefits. I have read A LOT of negative feedback about UPS, though I take those with a grain of salt...after all, how do I know you aren't one of those workers that I despise because of how slow you go? I am (maybe?) interested in making a career with UPS..but have no aspiration to be a driver. Just doesn't seem appealing to me. So my questions are as follows: 1. Starting from package handler, what sort of pay increases would I see, and at what frequency? Would also to be nice to hear a starting wage, and if you are able to negotiate a higher wage if you have experience doing that kind of work (not sure my current job would qualify). 2. What is the management path starting from Package Handler? Handler > Supervisor? 3. Is there any possible FT, year round work for people who do not wish to drive? That is all I can think of for now. Thank you for all serious responses :) [/QUOTE]
