What Our Veterans Are Saying

  • Houston M.

    UPS: 30 Years; Marine Corps: 9 Years Active, 2 Years Reserves

    “Like the military, UPS allows you to be part of something bigger than yourself, take care of your family, grow, and make meaningful contributions to the success of the team, creating lifelong friendships along the way.”

  • Cree’Ana W.

    UPS: 5 Years; Navy: 6 Years

    “UPS and my department leaders support their veterans by providing avenues for veterans to support other veterans internally and externally through community outreach, employee recognition, and business resource groups.”

  • Kathy B.

    UPS: 21 Years; Army: 11 Years

    “UPS values military experience and provides an easy transition from your military career. My time in the service helped me for my career at UPS, by giving me the logistics and leadership skills I use at UPS daily.”

  • Andrea G.

    UPS: 24 Years; Marine Corps: 5 Years

    “Following my military service, I transitioned to UPS, finding it to be seamless. I sought to pursue full-time education during the day while working for UPS during the night, a choice that proved advantageous.”

  • Derrick L.

    UPS: 6 Years; Navy: 11 Years

    “UPS is very similar to the military in the way that it is structured and operates which made for an easier transition to the corporate world. The diversity of jobs and roles at UPS really opened up the door for me to see where best I fit in the puzzle.”

  • Norm B.

    UPS: 25 Years; Army: 3 Years Active, 2 Years Reserves

    “The sense of community and mission at UPS align very closely to what it was like serving in the Army. The esprit de corps of the Army is much like the partnership, fellowship, and common loyalty that makes me proud to be a UPSer.”

  • Ryan Z.

    UPS: 24 Years; Marine Corps: 6 Years

    “UPS is a great organization to use the skills, standards, and leadership learned in the military. If you had a successful military career, chances are those skills will propel you within the ranks at UPS.”

  • Lloyd K.

    UPS: 17 Years; Air Force: 20 Years

    “We hire veterans at UPS not only because it's the right thing to do, we hire them because we know they give us a competitive advantage.”

  • Michael F.

    UPS: 20 Years; Army: 10 Years

    “Jim Casey founded the company on principles of integrity, responsibility, and merit—values that correspond perfectly to our nation’s military. UPS leaders have continued to maintain these principles, welcoming home veterans, like me.”
