Pay and benefits. You really aren't going to find anything better unless you have a degree, or wanting to do some dangerous work for ridiculous hours.
EVEN WITH A DEGREE, UPS pay and benefits will most likely be better than you will find anywhere else.
I'll probably end up sticking with it, no degree here. I've just heard residential delivering is a crazy schedule being out until 8 at times.
And most likely a lot fewer hours spent in service to your employer each week
Depends on what your field of study is in. My daughter graduates in May with a Business & Marketing degree and has accepted a position starting out at $74,900.
Or 10.
Just curious. In a decent sized city?
Denver.
What I figured. That's one great thing about ups. Basically the same pay no matter where you are.
How old are you?....pay and benefits here as well....pros- nice being outside when it's nice out..could never work in an office..by yourself all day no manager breathing down your neck...of coarse management makes it tough but that's their job and it's nothing you can't deal with especially when the union has your back, it really is hard to get fired unless you really eff up....the day flys by, punch in in the morning next thing you know it's 3 o'clock........cons- being outside in
ty weather, working late, getting slammed at Xmas time.....I guess the pros out weigh the cons..stick with it..try to get into driving..can't make a decent living working inside the building unless u get full time and even then full time inside bids work twilight into night shift....worse hours ever
It all depends on how you sell yourself. Her two roommates both accepted positions in Minneapolis after graduating last semester. One of them used numerous job offers to negotiate an increase in her starting pay to $60,000 while the other one just settled for around $30,000.
Another big city...
That can be good or bad depending on where you are. In my area, top rate driver money makes you a high roller. Over in somewhere like say, Malibu, I'm sure it's another story.
