UPS will pay 100% of college here. Probally where I will apply in the summer.

That's all I know though, I'm pretty clueless.

i used to work there as a summer job. the work is really physical your going to be exhausted and sore for the first few weeks. the used to get paid 8.50 an hour and after probations wich is like 4 much i think you get 9 bucks an hour. you get all the benefits after probation. the thing is that you have to pay a 200 dollar union fee in the beginning and after that its 25 bucks the first week of every month.

My buddy used to work at the Fedex center here. He didn't like it a whole lot. Hard work as said above.

Here at the FedEx ground terminal, our loaders have a quota of loading 450 packages an hour. Probably 90% of them can't do it cause they are lazy. It can be done. It doesn't take a super human, it just takes a good pace, coordination, and speed. Working at a facility like this is quite possibly the most physically demanding job you will ever have in your life. Do it.

People who can't handle it are *******. I've heard every excuse. OOO, its too hard, I'm tired so I'm work like a dead sloth. People just don't know the meaning of hard work.

i work there right now, and i dread going to work everyday, ive been there for like 8 months now and im currently looking for another job, its hard work at times especially in peak season. They pay for your college if your a supervisor not just a regular laborer. The benefits are excellent some of the best you can find. I personally wouldnt drive 30 mins for that work everyday. And being in a facility thats ran horribly due to management doesnt help my decision of UPS being a good job. When they see you bust your *** and you know most of the trailers they try to send you everywhere to work.

But if you do decide to work there make sure to get in good with all the supervisors they tend to look out for you most of the time, even though UPS works off a senority base
