Gateway To Many Career Paths

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 on Dell Computers and Panasonic products. 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
