[QUOTE="Ouch, post: 1272341, member: 49383"] [quotPhotog, post: 1261955, member: 7966"]There is no career at UPS as a Union employee. There are hard manual jobs that pay well due to the sacrifice of your body ( and mind as you've seen on here) and an expectation pushing yourself to extreme productivity. The only Union job at UPS that one could consider a career-type job is a Feeder Driver (CDL Tractor-Trailer). UPS Union jobs do offer one the ability after a period of time to make very good money - Full-timer. First thing - You need to understand what a career is and then understand whether you are looking for a real career (Lawyer, Engineer, Accountant, Finance, Sales, etc.) or a series of job-assignments that round out your experience at UPS. Another thing I think I noticed ... you seem to think there is a career with UPS that will allow you to work at UPS your entire work lifetime. That is a concept that died out decades ago at most Corporations. It has died out as a possibility at UPS in the last couple of decades. There will be exceptions but to make the most money, you will have to work for multiple companies to develop and maximize your career. UPS may offer one opportunities in a career path if you have a degree in a field in which they have a need. There should be no expectation that anyone in a career path at UPS will work for UPS for their entire work lifetime. That is not the nature of careers ... one should plan to work for at least 5 companies/corporations during their work lifetime in a career. It is common to start out for a company and work at a couple of other companies and then return to your first company.[/quote] Wait you're saying that supervision and management are better than union jobs?
