They should petition Cheryl for a new sub section reserved only for those who think FedEx is the cats ass. It would be invite only so us pathetic whiners wouldn't be allowed to disagree with their view on the company.
Is it THAT bad?

Nice, fifteen in, $2.60 above starting pay, six or seven bucks below top out!

deep down inside I really do not care
Our contract has varying pay for different regions too. I live in the Southern Region,the lowest pay in the US and I make $34.05 per hour and have full benefits.
What makes me ticked is our rates are almost identical(UPS and FedEx) and UPS pays us a terrific salary and benefits while my fellow package car and line haul pilots make considerably less money.....and Fred is the wealthiest man in Tennessee.Sad.
I'm betting "Meat" is either a mgr or a Ground contractor, and has been on here awhile under another name.
We have 7 payscales last I looked, and you don't have to be in a lower income city to get one of the lowest payscales. FedEx pays the lowest amount that will retain people and attracts applicants, even in places like Flagstaff, AZ which is close to Southern California pricing.

Fugboi: If you are a veteran you will have an advantage at USPS because you can claim veterans preferance. Goes along way at USPS. P.S. If in the event you don't already know Federal Express is not a federally commissioned operation. Just another greedy Fortune 500 company.

I'm assuming both are PT? The morning shift is not bad as long as there is no late freight that day as they will beg you to stay longer to help out. I would take the afternoon shift as once you get back to the station after your route you are basically done for the day as the CTV leaves for the airport at a set time each night.
It depends what fits better into your life. If it doesn't make a difference to you, consider that the PM job is probably easier because it's usually the same exact stops at the same exact time every night where with deliveries there is a lot more variety and you are affected by other factors such as the freight being late.
Are they M-friend, or T-S? If I was picking it would make a big difference to me if with one of the jobs you didn't have to work Saturdays.
Both are PT and listed as Mon-Sat, with days off "to be determined."
It really doesn't make too much of a difference to me whether it's AM or PM, but I'd like to go with whatever would give me more flexibility as I look for work related to my degree, for what that's worth.
Oh, that sucks as far as the day off goes. You're probably better off taking the PM route so you're guaranteed time off during the day to pursue other opportunities. When you start in the morning it's anyone's guess when you could be getting out.
