[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 216496, member: 5938"] At our center the evening shift unloads the package cars returning from their routes. Drivers not only deliver pkgs but then pick up from business shipping out. The pkgs are then loaded on to semi trailers to be taken to hubs and then sorted to where they should go. Insurance covers 80% of doctor visits and 100% on prescriptions but we have to pay up front for prescriptions then submit receipts. It's a godsend for anyone on expensive maintenance drugs. It's hot and dirty work but if you like physical activity you'll be fine. They allow you to have bottles of water or, best of all gatorade with you. Many of us take frozen ones and slurp them down as they melt. It's an odd place to work. I've found that many folks who enjoy the job are also a bit aggressive. Need to be to get the job done. You can't take anything to heart because you'll never be quite good enough for management and other workers all think they are doing better than everyone else. Just yeah, yeah, whatever. Do the best you can, work hard and follow directions even when they don't make sense. It's a good, steady job with great benefits and pay raises have been about $1.00 per year so your wages really go up quickly. Not sure what the new contract in August will offer but we will soon find out. Go ahead and try it if you enjoy hard work. If you don't like it that's fine. At least you've given it a try. It's as valuable to find out what you don't like as well as what you do like. Good luck and if you have any questions or hassles bring them here. Someone here has certainly been though it and can offer suggestions and understanding. dw [/QUOTE]
