Hi all. The company I'm currently at has been hit hard by the downturn in the aviation industry and I am expecting to be laid off in the very near future. I am trying to get ahead of things and was told by some colleagues to look into UPS. Already passed the application/phone interview phase and I have a computer-based test for a PE Mechanic position scheduled for this week.
The job is IAM union with top pay after 2 years. Benefits are paid. Also the recruiter mentioned a pension.
Can any PE Mechanics on here tell me what a typical day (I know few days in maintenance are "typical") looks like? Is the IAM pension decent and is it funded at this moment? I'm assuming the warehouses aren't air-conditioned (used to this), what kind of temps can I expect? Any other advice/thoughts on PE Mechanic position and working for UPS in general would be appreciated.
