Everyone was very helpful to acclimate to the work. My peers noticed what I brought to the table and frequently asked me for advice.

What I wish was different

I wish i worked with more departments to get a wider understanding versus just working in my department within HR.

When networking, ask yourself “How can I help this person one day”. Being selfless will take you a long way versus just asking for help.

Package Handler

May - August 2019 • Louisville, KY

What I liked

What I liked about working at UPS was being right at the airport. I worked day shift so I got to spend many days watching different planes take off and land at SDF in Louisville, KY. I worked in the international area of UPS, and it was so interesting to see packages coming from all over the world to Louisville, KY.

What I wish was different

What I wish could have been different, was more work ethic from co-workers.

Advice

One piece of advice I would share about this experience is the job maybe hard mentally and physically but it's totally worth the paycheck at the end of the week!
