[QUOTE="bellesotico, post: 346882, member: 15614"] 1. I wouldn't say that it is bad...but it is extremely difficult and mentally challenging. As far as you not necessarily being physically fit..give it some time. You will be. Job conditions vary from center to center, but the best thing to do is to get a good nights sleep, go in with a positive attitude, [U][B]work as directed[/B][/U], and don't over think anything. 2. This varies from center to center. At mine you must put in for it as early as possible. Keep this in mind though...regarding time off and unearned vacation..ups can pretty much do whatever they want..and if you are just starting the job..it might not be all that impressive to ask for a week off ya know? 3. Yes. 4. Be prepared to have a sup attached to your hip for awhile. Be prepared to hear the word [B]methods[/B] constantly. Be prepared to always be wrong. Be prepared to dream about moving boxes. Be prepared to have sores muscles and bruises where you never dreamed you could have bruises. Be prepared to get a ups "tan". Be prepared to feel every type of emotion under the sun over the course of a shift! There are some positive aspects..like..you lose weight..get real buff...and definitely the negatives..I believe I listed a few :knockedout: But really you will just have to experience it all for yourself. Nothing anyone says can truly prepare you for the job. It's just truly unique to each individual. Believe it or not. I actually love my job. Hate the politics...but love my job. Good luck...and godspeed..lol...:peaceful: [/QUOTE]
