I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at UPS (Pacific, WA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Went to the UPS website and entered my application info and once that was done I was immediately given the option of signing up for an interview date. They had an option for choosing multiple dates but only one was offered.
On the date I went to the site and went to the HR area where I and about 22 other people waited. It started with the HR woman telling us about the job and how difficult it is and how the benefits would work. She also said that UPS wanted a one year commitment, something the website never mentioned.
After her speech we went on a tour of the facility and she explained in detail what the job involved. After the tour we returned to the office and waited awhile while she decided if there was enough time for her to interview us all.
She decided there wasn't so she called us out of the office one by one and gave us days to come back for proper one on one interviews.
I decided that a one year commitment wasn't for me and decided to cancel the one one one interview.
Clothing is pretty relaxed. The environment is a warehouse so no heels or sandals but a pair of khakis and a polo is about as dressed u as anyone I saw was.

Question 1
She really stressed how the job was a lot of work with no downtime aside from assigned breaks.

Interview
Prior to the interview, you sit in the lobby of UPS with a bunch of other people. an HR rep comes out, thanks everyone for coming and briefly goes over what was written on the information sheet. They summarize that:
-There's two shifts a package handler can work: Either the twilight (6pm - 12am) or sunrise (3am - 9am). They want someone who can stick to whatever shift they select.
-if you're not going to school or have the background of a warehouse employee you're going to be at the bottom of the list with a nil chance of being hired.
-They explain that you may not even get the full 6 hours, and that some days you might just get 3.
-You have to be able to handle packages of all different weight and sizes.

Called me and had me come in. Walked me through the place and explained what I would be doing. Didn't ask very many questions, and the questions were very simple. Very pleasant experience, easy interview. Needed my SSN to do a background check, got back with me within 5 days and gave me an offer.
