[QUOTE="Southwestern, post: 936764, member: 33209"] Not all geographic locations offer ANY tuition reimbursement to part-time employees; some limit it to specific buildings and/or specific shifts. The closest facility to me offering tuition reimbursement is about 2.5 hours away, and it's tied to a specific college (combination of UPS and college scholarships = free tuition). The $60-$100K I was referring to was the average debt of a college graduate in my state. Of course a savvy individual here could save $20,000 in tuition alone (and an equal amount by rooming with mom and dad) by attending community college for two years. In the short term, you'll probably make more as a PT sup since the job entitles a small pay increase + is compensated at 27.5 hours per week -- more than enough to offset the cost per benefits. There's also a larger breadth of health plans for sups. In the early 2000s, a close friend of mine accepted a Whole Foods-style plan that placed a specified amount of money ($1,200?) into a Health Savings Account. There was no charge for this plan (I believe it was only for individuals, not families) and routine (but not surgery, etc.) costs were debited. At the end of the year, any monies left in the account were cashed out to him. I'm not certain if anything like it is still offered... kinda encourages the employee not to seek care when he otherwise should. Variables change all the time (future volume, building consolidations, etc.) But it's probable that beginning in as little as 5 years, UPS will face mass retirements system wide and any eligible, interested part-timer would get a job.
