[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 158051, member: 7185"] Hey, don't worry about those "flame" people. And don't be thrown off by those "flame" people, either. 90% of the package handlers are really decent people. Some of the drivers are...a little nutty but that's to be expected with traffic, etc they fight all day everyday, I'm afraid. Depends on what hours you like, along with personal situation: family, other job, etc. I worked a Twilight Sort (5-10) in Chicago and it fit well with my class schedule. I quit for school two years ago and am coming back on a Day Sort. I don't know how those hours would work with your schedule, let alone where you're applying to work as Day Sorts only run in certain buildings. The benefits are everything you've heard and more: no outta pocket premiums, for example. Vacations are pretty much standard, I think. One week after a year but this, too, might depend on your location. In Chicago, I know we had two weeks (one was an Optional Week, where you could work and get paid for 25 hours, I think). If you chose to work that week, both checks were straight time if I recall correctly. I've generally had positive experiences with operations management. HR is a different story. Full of bumbling morons has been my experience. Then again, I've read horror stories on here of operations sups. Be friendly, respectful and willing to work is the best advice I think you can get here. Good luck!! -Rocky [/QUOTE]
