[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 611112, member: 22880"] Absolutely true... If one is looking for part-time employment that is only going to last for a few years, Express is the better deal. If one is looking for a career, UPS is by far the better deal. It all depends on the individual's time horizon. If they are looking at a relatively short time horizon, then they'd probably be better off working for Express as a part-time Courier. It only takes about a year for individuals that hire in as non-Couriers to be able to get a job change into a Courier position (translation, there is high turnover). If an individual is looking for a permanent career, then they'd be wasting their time with Express. It is a dead end as far as career security and compensation levels. The difference in TOTAL cumulative compensation (starting from day 1) between Express and UPS for new hires is made up after about the first 18 months an UPS employee starts working as a driver. After that point, the UPS driver rapidly outpaces the Express employee in compensation by far. If one were to assume current pay differentials and business models (which realistically one cannot, but for comparision sake must), the UPS employee will make just over double in total compensation over a career than if they worked for Express. This includes all forms of compensation including benefits, wages and retirement plans. [/QUOTE]
