UPS® announced that it expects to hire over 200 employees in the Phoenix Metropolitan area to support the unprecedented increase in ecommerce-related shipping. These jobs are permanent, part-time package handling positions in UPS sortation hubs and centers that can lead to a career.
More than 56 percent of UPS’s current drivers and management staff were originally hired for part-time package handler jobs. Promotion from within enabled many to begin their careers at UPS.
“We’re proud to move our world forward by delivering what matters, and the rapid and ongoing growth of ecommerce coupled with overall demand for our services is creating new part-time opportunities,” said Jeff Bloedorn, Director of Human Resources for UPS in Arizona. “We’re looking for people to join our team here in the Phoenix metro area, and to possibly start a great career at UPS.”
Through the company’s Earn and Learn program, eligible employees who are students can earn up to $25,000 towards college expenses, in addition to their hourly pay. UPS has invested nearly $670 million in tuition assistance – nearly $30 million a year since the program was established in 1997 – helping over 300,000 employees pay for their college education.
These jobs come with competitive pay and benefits, including healthcare, retirement contributions, tuition assistance and a discounted stock purchase program (after a short waiting period). Hourly starting pay is up to $16.00 depending on location, shift and position, and includes annual raises.
UPS is hiring at the following Phoenix metro-area locations:
- GOODYEAR HUB: 16601 W. SELLS DRIVE, GOODYEAR, AZ 85395
