UPS Part-time Package Handler:
Gateway To Many Career Paths
Most employees begin their career at UPS as Part-time Package Handlers
in the Package Operations division. While others join UPS Package
Operations as Seasonal Driver Helpers, Package Delivery Drivers,
Tractor-trailer Drivers, and Fleet Mechanics.
UPS actively promotes employees from within, and because of UPS's
commitment to continuing education and training, the Part-time Package
Handler position can be the gateway to many potential career paths
within United Parcel Service. Long-standing company policies, such as
employee ownership, equal opportunity, and promotion from within, have
helped to foster employee dedication, making UPS a preferred employer.
UPS provides its permanent, Part-time Package Handlers with fully paid
healthcare benefits and many other employee benefits including 22%
employee discounts on Verizon Wireless, as well as preferred pricing
with discounts of up to 40% on Dell Computers, Panasonic products, and
other retail items. And at certain locations, tuition assistance up to
$3,000 per year is also provided to permanent, Part-Time Package
Handlers.
Full-time Benefits for Part-time Work
The Part-time Package Handler is a physical, fast-paced position that
involves continual lifting, lowering, and sliding of packages that
typically weigh 25 to 35 lbs. and may weigh up to 70 lbs. Part-time
employees usually work 3.5 to 4 hours each weekday (Monday through
Friday) and typically do not work on weekends or selected holidays. It
is an ideal job for college students who need to work to pay their way
through school, or for adults who are looking for convenient, consistent
part-time hours with employer-paid full-time benefits that fit within
their busy lifestyles.
Whether you're a college student who needs to pay for their own
education, a single parent looking for healthcare benefits, or you're
just looking for a second income by working a convenient, consistent
shift, the permanent Part-time Package Handler position just might be
the opportunity you've been hoping for. We also invite you to view some

the full-time benefits UPS provides for part-time work, and how they
feel about it.
UPS Calls Its 4 Shifts Sorts: Most Openings at Night & Sunrise

including a Day Sort (approx. 1 PM - 5 PM), Twilight Sort (approx. 6
PM - 10 PM), Night Sort (approx. 11 PM - 3 AM), and Sunrise/Preload
Sort (approx 4 AM - 8 AM).
(Greatest opportunities for hiring and advancement currently in Night

sort, if you are hired you will consistently work at that time typically
Monday through Friday with weekends off.
UPS is an equal opportunity employer.
