UPS looking to hire around 910 employees for holiday season in the Naples and Fort Myers area
UPS announced this week it expects to hire more than 910 seasonal employees in the Naples and Fort Myers area ahead of the holiday rush. Its streamlined, digital-first process now takes just 25 minutes for most people – from filling out an online application to receiving a job offer. And nearly 80% of seasonal positions do not require an interview.
After leading the industry in on-time performance throughout last year’s holiday season and for the third year in a row, the company is again gearing up to meet customer needs. The company is filling full- and part-time seasonal positions – primarily seasonal drivers, package handlers and driver helpers – by offering competitive wages across multiple shifts in hundreds of locations across the country. Both seasonal package car and tractor-trailer driver positions begin at $21 per hour.
“We have made our hiring process as easy as possible,” said Nando Cesarone, executive vice president and president, U.S. Operations. “UPS’s strength has always been our people, and we are excited about the opportunity to welcome new UPSers to our team as we deliver what matters for our customers this holiday season.”
And seasonal opportunities are a proven pathway to a career at UPS – nearly 35,000 seasonal employees earned permanent positions following the 2021 holidays. UPS creates jobs that pay industry-leading wages and benefits, and rewards people who stay. A full-time UPS package delivery driver makes an average of $95,000 per year, plus an additional $50,000 in contributions to health, wellness and pension benefits. After four years, UPS drivers earn about $42 per hour.
“I love my job – serving your community, getting to know your city and the people,” San Diego full-time driver Rene Aranda said. “UPS offers a great opportunity to grow and live a more comfortable life than other companies.”
Through the company’s Earn and Learn program, eligible employees have the opportunity to earn up to $25,000 (lifetime maximum) for college tuition and expenses. Part-time employees are eligible for the reimbursement the day they are hired. UPS invested $30 million in education assistance programs in 2021.
