Nationally, UPS expects to hire about 95,000 seasonal employees.

"Our seasonal jobs often lead to permanent employment and even careers for some," CEO David Abney said. 

"We offer flexible shifts and full- and part-time positions. If you are a student, a working mom or just looking to make extra money for the holidays, we have a job for you."

The full- and part-time seasonal positions – primarily package handlers, drivers and driver-helpers – have long been an entry point for permanent employment at UPS. Many senior UPS executives, including CEO David Abney and three other members of the company’s Management Committee, started their UPS careers as part-time employees.

Tractor-trailer driver jobs start at $34.45 per hour. Pay for package handlers and driver-helpers starts at $10.20 per hour.

Over the last three years, 35 percent of the people UPS hired for seasonal package handler jobs were later hired in a permanent position when the holidays were over.

Jackie Nicholas, a full-time recruiter at UPS, began her career as a seasonal employee in 1998. 

"As a mother, the great pay and benefits have been critical for my family, and so has the flexibility," she said. "After my husband got home from work we’d put the kids to bed and then I’d head off to work the overnight shift. 

"I could sleep when I got home and still have time to attend the kids’ field trips and classroom events. Now that the kids are out of college I’m working full-time."

Permanent UPS jobs – including part-time jobs – come with excellent pay and benefits, including healthcare and retirement benefits. At many UPS® locations, part-time employees in college are eligible to receive up to $25,000 in tuition assistance through the company’s Earn and Learn program.

UPS is hiring at the following locations.

  • Parsippany – 799 Jefferson Road, Parsippany.
  • Saddle Brook – 280 North Midland Ave., Saddle Brook.
