Did you reply to the 3rd guy "But Benefits are GREAT!"?
And after about 4-5 months I'm making a little under 11. Come February I'll be making a little over 11. Dunno about you BBAG but most of the places I've ever worked it takes more than a year to make even 10.50. And then they top out at like 14. Tell your 3rd friend good luck with fast food.
I agree! I was against this contract due to part timers getting the shaft for one. I am full time but I was a part timer back in the day for years. The benes were how we got good employees. You staff full time ranks from the part time ranks. If you have a hard time getting good part timers you will have a hard time getting good full timers too.UPS really does shoot itself in the foot with pt employees especially with the benefits now taking a year to get.
Here in the north east, UPS is the LOWEST paying employer possible to start.
Add to that, you are unloading, an amazingly physical, demanding job.
McD's starts at $9. Be thankful you live in an area that is cheap
Not in this North East it isn't - by far!
I am originally from RI/Mass and I agree w/New Englander--there are a lot worse jobs there than UPS.
Not trying to argue, but curious - name one.
Well said. I mistakenly thought that the market was going to force UPS to raise starting wages, and continue the benefit package for part timers. I guess those Ivy League Corporate Guys in Atlanta, and our Let's Stand Up For The Little Guy Teamster's Union have it all worked out.I agree!

BBAG, the point is, we all work for UPS if it was all that awful we wouldnt work here
Oh, heck, sorry - I speak only of the $8.50/hour unloader working the 3am - 9am shift. It's still fresh with me - if there is a hell, I imagine that is what it is like, but less chance of being killed by 110lb irregulars stacked on the top of the row by sadistic loaders.
I agree its harder to get it there but it is really hard to get down especially when the wall collapses and it falls!
