[QUOTE="Atemoe, post: 3262496, member: 70298"] It's funny you say that. After I left UPS, I applied with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. After a year I got the job, and was super excited to start. They offered me High Desert State Prison in Susanville. I took it and was glad I did. I have been in the Department now for 3 years and it's crazy how much money I make along with the benefits. When I left UPS I was making $20 an hour. I'm making $35 now and it will keep going up till I am topped out after 7 years. My health insurance is only $300 a month with a family of 4. I don't pay for vision or dental either. It's free. And also there is no more lifting packages and walking into every building in downtown Sacramento hoping I can find parking in an alleyway. I only work 8 hours a day and can swap with my partners for extra days off. Also I get 1 sick day a month and 13 hours of vacation a month. It's crazy how good California is to it's law enforcement officers. But our Union is unbeatable. They keep negotiating better packages. I won't ever look back at UPS. [/QUOTE]
