What Our Team Says (Employee Reviews)
"Working the air hub is a completely different level of intensity from a standard package center. The sort windows are compressed because the aircraft cannot wait, the team coordination is elite, and the overnight differential makes my hourly rate the highest of any part-time warehouse job I have researched in this city. UPS funded my airport security badge and all my ramp safety certifications at zero cost. It is genuinely the best part-time opportunity I have ever had." - Current Part-Time Air Hub Handler, Louisville, KY.
