[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 215955, member: 5938"] No tennies, sturdy leather, non slip soles, good repair. Don't need steel toes. Depends on the center how quickly you can move up. Full time hourly jobs can be hard to come by without high seniority. For management you'll have to be in college, preferably working toward a business degree. Probably start out as a part time supervisor which is a hellish, thankless job. You're stuck between hourly and full time sups and have unioin rules to deal with. Thirty days, I believe before you gain any type of seniortiy and can join the union. During that time UPS can get rid of you for pretty much anything. After the 30 days you are in the union and dues will be taken from your check. Once you get started and a little bit comfy find out who your unior steard is and ask them specific questions. They're a goldmine of info. Working conditions depend on where you work, inside, outside or a combination. Nothing fancy for clothes, they will get dirty and sometimes torn. Take a cold bottle of gatorade with you plus a frozen one if it's hot. By breaktime it will be ready to drink. They will have fountains and if you really need a drink, ask your sup if you can run and get some water. They should let you. No need to have anyone read anything over. If you don't like it you're a free person and can quit. If you don't work out for them they can get rid of you in the first 30 days. It's that way most any job. It's a hard job, you need thick skin and a love of hard physical work. Give yourself two or three weeks to muscle up and get used to it before giving up. You'll love it or hate it. Best of luck! dw [/QUOTE]
