[QUOTE="JJinVA, post: 4548431, member: 80301"] It is a risk, as with anything in life worth pursuing. I dont know what you do for that $23 an hour youre currently making or how much room you have to advance in the company, but this job is extremely demanding. Some days are better than others, but the bad days will whip your whole a**. 150lb trampolines, 150lb Bo-flex machines, a mountain of irregs blocking your entire walkway and dispatch sends you to your first stop on the 8000 shelf in the back of the truck, only for the delivery to be a tinee tiny envelop buried under a mountain of boxes... lol If I would have had a job paying a steady $23 an hour before coming to UPS, knowing what I know now, I probably would have stayed at my job. Not only because of the risk that you might not make the cut, but also, driving is one of the highest risk occupations out there right now with drinking and driving, heroin addicts passing out, and people texting and driving. Its chaotic on the road 12 hours everyday. Not to mention since you have a family, the hours youre expected to work will put stress on your personal life. I usually have just enough energy to come home, eat, take a shower, talk some smile* on the net for a little while, and then crash. Its a good job if you really need the money, or if youre single. But otherwise its a bit to manage. [/QUOTE]
