Work here longer than 3 months if you're going to accept the job

Pros

The work is fairly simple and you can easily work a second job if you work for UPS.

Cons

Often times, the trucks are packed so full of packages that you can barely (if at all) walk through at the end of your shift. This makes it frustrating to find a place for everything and to make everything fit nicely, especially since packages tend to come down the conveyor-belt quickly. I also think the pay is low for what kind of work is performed. If you accept a job with UPS, work beyond the 90 day period it takes to get into the union because otherwise, the job's just not worth it. UPS takes money out of your paycheck each week for the union before the 90-day period has passed.
