[QUOTE="MendozaJ, post: 1895920, member: 55737"] You run the risk of getting let go as a trainee during any season. Also consider the crazy hours during peak and how that will affect your studies. It will be a long slog until you start knocking days off your probation. On the other hand, longer hours means OT and higher paychecks. If you can endure peak, you can handle anything UPS throws at you. You will lose a minimum 20 lbs. If you do experience the misfortune of getting cut, you can always reapply if you exit with a positive rehire status. If your goal is a permanent position, you will have to juggle peak and studies eventually, so why not find out if this is for you now. I should also add that the benefits and perks of being a permanent p/t don't kick in for a year. In other words, wait until next year and you won't be getting paid for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's while you bust your ass through your first peak. [/QUOTE]
