Educational Benefits

Not very many companies reward its part-time employees with healthcare benefits. But, at UPS, permanent, part-time package handlers are provided with fully-paid healthcare benefits, as well as a host of other benefits, such as 22% employee discounts on Verizon Wireless, preferred pricing on Dell Computers and Panasonic products, and, at certain locations, tuition assistance up to $3,000 per year.

UPS also has a strong commitment to hiring from within, so today's part-time employees often end up as tomorrow's full-time employees. That, combined with their educational assistance programs, allows workers to attend college to learn skills to help them move up in the company.
