I’d recommend this job to any student.

What I liked
Well UPS offers assistance with those who are trying to go back to school.
After a year you have full health and dental in benefits, even though it is part-time work.
The early morning hours are very conducive to working one's schedule around going back to school.
What I wish was different
One thing that I wish had been different was just the general morale of the place.
Advice
It's hard work, but if you are willing to stick it out there are more rewards to be reaped then you could initially anticipate.

What I wish was different
The hours. I worked from 2:30 AM to 10:00 AM

Physical labor takes a toll, but not as much as the mental instability that was created by lack of sleep. Made me stronger in more ways than one.

Even if you don't feel like you are "qualified" for a position or job, you should always apply. I applied for a management position without the qualifications, and I was able to get the job by utilizing my interview skills from Stacie Hays.

Payroll Intern
June - August 2019 • Coppell, TX
What I liked
I liked the fact that interns are highly regarded and are able to join meetings with upper-level management. Your input is also important to them and you work on projects that will actually be used when you leave. There is an opportunity to make an impact and you actually get to learn what it is and why it's needed. Many of the employees have been working there for a long time together and are very family-like.
What I wish was different
I wish there were more chances to interact with other interns in other departments to see how everyone effects the bottom line.
Advice
Be friendly to the people and comfortable asking lots of questions. You aren't expected to know anything so don't feel dumb and any cost!
