Thinking about applying Sunrise shift (4am to 9am)

[DCx310]

I'm currently in my first semester at community college as an unemployed 23 year old. My school schedule is as followed (Monday and Wednesday: 12:30 PM to 2:35 PM, Tuesday/Thursday: 2 PM to 3:25 PM and 4:30 PM - 6:35 PM). I really wanted to focus on my academics and not worry about having to work during school, but now I really need the money. FASFA only helped a little. I spent 3 months working for Fedex Express at their LAX hub so I am familiar with working as a package handler. The position I'll be applying for is at the Gardena, CA hub.

So what's your question?

 

[DCx310]

So what's your question?

How much is the pay?/Typically what's the take home pay?
Do they offer benefits?
Will I have opportunities for further raises?
What is the "sunrise" shift like?
Would YOU recommend it for a college student?

 

[UnconTROLLed]

(1) menial, minimum wage
(2) after one year in most cases, but not all. health care coverage, pension, vacation etc.
(3) yes, raises are contractual.
(4) it blows
(5) not really, unless you are desperate

It's hard work for little money. You would only be hired as a seasonal and not get any benefits or paid time off.

All that money you're spending to be an unemployed 23 year old will be wasted if you get a job here.

Although there is the earn and learn program (IF your location offers it) , may as well let them pay if you get in and stick it out.

I was but this is not about me. Let's concentrate on the OP. He said his Federal student aid did not pay much.

I'm trying to figure out why it took him til 23 to start school.



Took mom and dad 5 years to tell him to get off his ass and do something?

Deliver pizza's. Plenty of cash to be made.

Now now...You will hurt their self esteem.

Who cares if he waited till 23? The fact that he's going to school is good. Maybe he had one hell of a bender in AMS and tried to be a weed inspector at LAXH or tried to intercept the drugs that MEMH sends over to keep the managers stupid and in line. I mean, you don't want to motivate him back to eating avacado toast and still being unemployed.
