Anyone here ever work for UPS, Federal Express, US Mail or Airborne Express?

I'm kind of looking around for some part time work and I was wondering if these places hire part time IT workers, drivers, package handlers, etc. Also do what do they normall pay, do they provide insurance and benefits, etc..?

thanks

I'm going to disagree. Its very very hot in those warehouses. I have 2 friends working there(one is an industrial engineer, the other IT) and they both hate the mangement. Very politcal. One guy works in Flint, Mi and last year 4 people died in the distribution center: 1 from falling into the conveyor belt system, 2 were crushed to death by boxes, and a truck driver who was backing up hit his head on another truck.
