UPS Package Handler || 5 things to consider

it was some mica here and Wanda talk about ups now I've got to work for them twice once in Hawaii as a driver helper during the peak season my second experience was in California as a package handler and again I started at peak season I want to share my experience in my perspective and let you decide for yourself if you PS would be a good place for you to work so let's talk about it okay the first one is that it's hard work obviously it's it's a hard job the goal is to literally move packages the entire the entire timer there you're scanning you're loading and there's all kinds of different aspects of the job mine was getting packages scanning them and putting them in the proper place in the truck loading three four trucks so that way they were ready for the drivers to deliver in the morning it's a hard it's a hard job listen it's hard work you're gonna sweat you're gonna bleed you're gonna be dirty I'm gonna be tired and worn out your feet are gonna hurt you're gonna be sore again we've really sorted and they tell you this on when you interview with them hey you're gonna be sort you're not gonna want to come to work you're gonna be tired it's true okay the second one is that the benefits really good ups does a good job of taking care of its employees again it's not perfect a perfect company but they do really work hard work hard to take care of their people you get a pension you get benefits you get health benefits at your retirement you have the Union working for you and so if you stay the long haul this job is really gonna take care of you I didn't stay long enough to get all the benefits I got a seasonal bonus and I have a little bit of a pension but the third is that the camaraderie is strong you you see these these people every single day going in and out of work I began to build relationships friendships just a good time having fun making fun of each other cracking jokes I mean we're pretty focused on our work most of the time all of the time and so during breaks as much as you can you're just trying to chop it up laughs have a good time overall is just the camaraderie is strong I had great supervisors I had great coworkers and for the most part man we had a great team on our pen it was so good okay the fourth is that there's lots of opportunity to move up in the company and they'll tell you this hey you can request to move into other areas you can move up you can be a supervisor you could be a driver you can and so basically when you have seniority it can either longer you work there the more seniority you have basically you can move up and you can get better pay you can get a job that you prefer better and so there's lots of opportunity to move and grow and and you know be around on the company and that's what I love a lot a lot of guys I would say I used to do this now I do this now I'm going for this and lots of guys are asked you know what are you gonna do are you gonna drive gonna be a supervisor what are you working towards and so I love just the vibe of ups everyone's working towards something number 5 is it's a pretty basic job now I was part-time and my two experiences and it was super basic pay was a super basic job you know if you were trying to make a living support your family you may not be able to do that with a couple hundred bucks a week if you're trying to get to college you're trying to save up you know you may have to get a second job that's what I did I had a full-time job and ups was my side hustle and as a package handler coming real early in the morning and you get to work in the wee hours before everyone else is awake and I'd go to my day job after but it's pretty simple it's pretty straightforward here's your work get the work done and it's pretty basic in that sense hey thanks for watching I have a couple of other ups videos if you want to check them out and would love for you to subscribe and like if you get a chance and again comment below question below if you have anything to talk about alright much love peace
