What Our Team Says (Employee Reviews)

"I took this part-time role while finishing my degree and honestly never planned to stay. Three years later I am still here because UPS's part-time benefits are better than most full-time jobs I have seen. My tuition is fully covered by Earn & Learn, I work four hours a day before my afternoon classes, and the Teamsters medical coverage is genuinely excellent. I cannot think of a better UPS part-time warehouse job for a student." - Current Part-Time Package Handler, Charlotte, NC.
