    UPS interview wednesday

    For part time package handler. 20 or so hours weekly. Like 5am till ? I think i could swing this around my regular job of 3pm till 11pm. But it would be a challange. I am beat up and tired from my regular job. Dont really know if this is just summer work or beyond. I have heard, even part timers get FULL BENIFITS. Any way, just going with a open mind to hear them out and see whats on the table.

    Best of luck, but remember you gotta keep time for yourself. I understand needing more income but it`s not worth burning yourself out

    I have been told by some who have worked at UPS is the pay / benefits are good but the work is very demanding.

    That`s a very good job to get into. One of my dads best friends retired from UPS, and left very comfortably to say the least. I wanted him to pull me on as a driver, but he said they wouldn`t hire me because of the giant tattoo on my leg since they wear shorts. Good luck to you

    I was a package handler part-time after I graduated from high school. Its a good company to work for but they`ll work you to death.

    I also was a driver helper during the holidays and that was pretty fun. Good luck!

    Knock em dead in the interview! You can always turn down the offer. I think it might be a hard job, but I have heard it is a good company.

    I have a feeling many more will be seeking positions such as these to pay for their Obamacare



    Sorry to hear, but wish you the best

    It is good job, with great benefits. I started as a loader in our local `hub` on the midnight shift when I was in college. After about 18 months I applied for part-time management and went through their management training. I had several employees that had other jobs (some were self-employed) that were there primarily for the benefits.
    Their level-of-effort standards are high, but attainable. 1 hour to unload one of their trailers (the ones they pull double).
    Depending on the location you work in, it can be from 1-9 years to go full-time. The `hubs` (central processing points) have 1000+ employees, so it takes a long time to move up there.

    Good luck with the interview. What hub are you going to? The bennies are nice. But changed with this last contract. You now have to wait for a year to get them. Unless you got for a supervisor position. The shift you are applying for is preload. Very demanding. I`ve been in the car wash department there for 27 years. Unless you want to become full time management, do not become a part time supervisor. Let me know how you make out.
