If you are looking for a job either company would be fine.
If you are looking for a career get your degree. Dave.
unless you are gunning for management right away
you won't make a livable wage for many years.
II keep hearing the term 'not making a livable wage' when working for FedEx. Please explain how someone can live making <$10.00 as a UPS handler for 6-10 years.and unless you are gunning for management right away

UPS would be the choice if you can find the time to wait for Full time. Excellent Benefits, Excellent Pay.
A lot of couriers in my station make more than the managers in gross pay.That's debatable.
Even ops. mgrs. don't make all that much.
Esp. considering the hrs.

I won't debate the end result (IF you choose to stick it out to be a courier) pays off. But, fredly keeps mentioning working at FedEx you'll never make a 'livable wage'. As a handler, you'll make more at FedEx with medical benefits and tuition reimbursement options. That said, unless I couldn't find work elsewhere, I wouldn't work for either one. I'm on the fence about the company, but because I love what I do, I stay there.......for now.Part time jobs are not designed for someone to "make a living". Most work here for the benefits and work elsewhere to supplement the low pay.

Now closely look at that "lot" and tell me where they all fall in terms of years of service, remember the OP is askingA lot of couriers in my station make more than the managers in gross pay.
So you're saying a new hire should make more than the managers?Now closely look at that "lot" and tell me where they all fall in terms of years of service, remember the OP is asking
would be a new hire... how many new hires are making more than your managers?

UPS is by far the better long term choice. Starting wage at UPS as a handler is 8.50 with full benefits after a year. You will also receive a $1 raise within that first year and anywhere from .75 cents to $1 for every year after that based on the current contract. So if you have to wait 8 years to go full time you will be making $16.xx a hour part time by then. You get another job work that and then work UPS in the mornings or evenings until your able to go full time.
