UPS the hardest job you'll ever love.

Am package handler - unloader

Pros

The health insurance was the best I have ever had eventhough I had to wait 12 weeks after my thirty days of probation for them. The insurance is free, as in they don't deduct from your paycheck. The lack of interference with school or another job that you want to work at.

Cons

The starting pay is $8.50, after 30 working days it increases to $9.00. The work pace can be demanding but you will get use to it if you want to. The management always wants more but the trick is to find out the flow rate the equipment was designed to handle and just stay above that.

Pros

part time benefits are on par with full time benefits of other companies. Not many companies will offer the type of benefits for part time work that UPS does.

Cons

Manual labor can wear down one's back. You work out in the elements more or less. Facilities vary from station to station which impacts your success.

Pros

The best reasons to work for UPS are that they offer a low rate of return on the summer employees so they are able to provide newer staff with fresh ideas and clear states of mind to create a better business model for the company.

Cons

Long long long hours with very little overtime potential. Working with the family that I have; it's hard to maintain my lifestyle based on the job that I currently hold here. However, it is getting better and I do have to give the upper management props for this attempt.
