[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1068162, member: 43436"] My apologies for the tone of this forum. I've interacted with some great people on here, so I know that they exist. Yes, working at UPS requires a strong worth ethic; there are no "easy" jobs. UPS is very clear to prospective employees - throughout the application process, during orientation and within the safety mentor sessions - that this the jobs are fast-paced, intense manual labor and that the initial pay is low. There's absolutely nothing you can do to increase your pay or your chances of going full-time. My sole advise would be to let your management team know you're interested in any extra work opportunities (coming in before start or staying after, double-shifting, driver helping beyond peak, etc.) and have them direct you to the appropriate sign-up sheets. Additionally, if you're interested in driving, have them direct you to the sign-up sheets for Saturday air, seasonal driving, cover driving, etc. I work a very large Preload (several hundred employees) and we have several employees with less than a year or so of seniority that spend most of the year driving (for $16.10/hour). Your pay will gradually increase as you stay or progress within the Company. I've been here for over 10 years and make $20/hour. If money's so tight that you're "pawing" your belongings, I would suggest you make some lifestyle changes. [/QUOTE]
