[QUOTE="MKC, post: 3619152, member: 73377"] PT PH applicant, tour/interview in about a week from now. I'd save my questions for the interview, but I gather half of what HR says upon hire are lies??? I don't have an employee # to log in and fact check, or access to a current supplement. Please help me have a realistic idea about what I'm buying here, and what to watch out for. [B][I][SIZE=3]Position: Package Handler - Part-Time Twilight Ramp 6:00 PM - 11:00 PM Monday - Friday $75.00 weekly bonus plus hourly pay paid weekly for Package Handlers.
