[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 719122, member: 24302"] You can go on the company computer and find out what a payscale starts and tops out at. Just plug in info from a specific job posting on JCATS. What really bothers me is that there are places like Flagstaff, AZ that are very expensive and yet have the lowest or next lowest payscale. These are places that have a great lifestyle and there's always someone wanting to take that opening. Then they find out that no matter how nice a place is it doesn't mean much if they can't afford to do anything. The ability to transfer is truly the only plus FedEx has over UPS. Unfortunately too many managers use it as a trap to draw in employees who aren't familiar with local conditions. If you ever call a station to ask about an opening in JCATS, watch out for what a mgr might tell you. Couriers very often want to believe what they are told when it's a town they'd very much like to be in. The mgr will be very friendly, ask you what kind of rt you are looking for, and lo and behold, that's exactly the kind of rt he has available! Chances are it isn't. Thought I'd throw this is for anyone who might be considering a transfer. There's usually a reason a rt is open, and usually it's a negative reason. [/QUOTE]
