Seattle, WA

Former Employee – worked at UPS part-time for more than 3 years

ProsAs a part time employee, you are qualified for full benefits. In some location, they offer tuition reimbursement and book expenses.

ConsAs a ramp agent, I was mostly working out in the open. During peak season, expect to stay longer then normal due to the load of parcels coming in.

Advice to Senior ManagementThe tuition reimbursement program should be offered to all UPS facilities.

Minneapolis, MN

Current Employee – been working at UPS part-time for more than 7 years

ProsGreat pay, great benefits, fast paced and interesting work, lots of time off. Looks great on a resume if you are in management, lots of opportunities to move up within the company as well.

ConsLikely to work either evenings or overnight if you are in operations. May have to wait to be promoted to full-time work if you are part-time.

Advice to Senior ManagementInvest more in your people, less in the numbers.

Portland, OR

Current Employee – been working at UPS part-time for more than 10 years

ProsUnmatched benefits, good pay, very nice retirement plan, greatest employees in any industry. Very stable work environment.

ConsManagement advancement is very political. Who you know, not always what you have done for the company. A lot of "We have our eye on you, let's see what you are capable of", but unless you are 25-40, you can forget about being promoted to a full time management position. Very hard to prove age discrimination. All about moving the number now, no longer customer service . Jim Casey is turning over in his grave.

Advice to Senior ManagementPromote based on merit please, and get back to taking the time to listen to our customers the way we used to.
