[QUOTE="LarryBird, post: 4079885, member: 76548"] Here's the thing about working part-time at UPS imo... This is not a job for everyone, and there's much easier part-time jobs out there that pay just as much to start or more. If you're just looking for a PT job to make a few dollars, this is not really the best place for you. If you've got a FT job that you plan to stay at indefinitely, and you're just looking for a second job for a few extra dollars, there's much more flexible and less physical jobs out there for you where you can do that. This is a place where you start part-time with the intention of going driving FT or you're looking for a permanent PT second job for the free health benefits and the perks you don't have at your other job(construction workers etc) - paid vacation, a pension, and the ability to make $30 an hour years down the road while working part-time. Those people who fit into those two categories are the ones who seem to have the most successful part-time experience at UPS, for both themselves, and the company. They don't tend to quit. Ever. They will retire from UPS. It's easy to eat :censored: and roll with the punches when you're looking down the road to greener pastures with that goal of becoming a FT driver in mind. It's easy to stay on as a second job part-timer for 30 years when the UPS job is providing you with things your other job doesn't, that you need either now, down the road, or both - the bennies, the pension, the high paying supplemental income in the future as your abilities to succeed in your current day job diminish(ala construction etc like I mentioned). These are the people who belong and make it at UPS. The students and lower wage white collar workers always think it's a good job for them, and UPS makes it sound that way, but it rarely seems to work out for neither them or the company in most instances - of course there are obvious exceptions to this.
