Package Handler
June 2019 • Northumberland, PA
What I liked
The number one thing I enjoy about the job is how fast paced it is which makes the shifts go by very quickly. Also the greatest perk is they offer tuition assistance.
What I wish was different
Things could be more organized. The work could also be divided more evenly.
Advice
The biggest piece of advice I’d give is to fight through the initial lower level position. UPS likes to hire from within and you could already have vacation time and benefits accumulated before you start your new position after graduation.

Flight Operations Intern
June 2019 • Louisville, KY
What I liked
The experience at UPS has been amazing. Everyone is super friendly and willing to help you develop your skills. Every intern gets to go through the same training as the new hired pilots. We get checked out in the sims and are taught how to operate them in order to give customer tours. We are also allowed to jumpseat on UPS aircraft and observe the operation first hand.
What I wish was different
I have no complaints or anything I wish was different. The program gets the interns involved with the day to day operations of a major airline.
Advice
Talk to everybody, be yourself, and never say no to new opportunities.
