APPLY NOWJob Description:
- People Person Wanted! – Customer Service & Print Associate
- We're Hiring! And No, You Won't Just Be Taping Boxes All Day.
- Do you love helping people? Are you the kind of person who sees something that needs to be done and actually DOES IT without being asked? Can you handle a busy environment, learn new things, and maintain a sense of humor when five customers walk through the door at the exact same time?
Then we might just be looking for YOU!At The UPS Store in Cookeville, we do a whole lot more than ship packages. We print everything from business cards to banners, help customers solve problems, create awesome designs, and occasionally explain why we cannot ship a package to Mars. (Yet.)We're looking for an energetic, dependable, detail-oriented team member who enjoys working with people, thrives in a fast-paced environment, and understands that "I'll be there at 9:00" means 9:00... not 9:07.What You'll Actually Be DoingMaking customers smile. Deliver exceptional customer service, even when someone shows up with 47 Amazon returns.
Shipping stuff everywhere. Pack, weigh, process, and ship packages. Yes, sometimes the boxes are bigger than you.
Becoming a printing wizard. Help customers with printing, copying, binding, laminating, and creative projects. Graphic design experience is a HUGE plus!
Solving problems. Customers don't always know what they need. Your job is to help them figure it out.
Learning new skills. We offer a lot of services, and we'll train you to become an expert. You don't have to know everything on Day 1.Keeping things organized. Stock supplies, maintain a clean store, and keep things running smoothly.
Using technology. Computers, printers, point-of-sale systems, and other equipment. If technology terrifies you, this might not be your dream job.
Multitasking like a champion. Answering phones, helping customers, and keeping things moving without losing your mind—or your sense of humor.
Being a great teammate. Jump in when help is needed, communicate clearly, and take ownership of your responsibilities.
Who We're Looking ForYou might be our next favorite coworker if:
You're dependable. You show up on time, ready to work. Every. Single. Shift.
You're friendly. You genuinely enjoy interacting with people.
You're self-motivated. You don't need someone standing over your shoulder telling you what to do next.
You're a quick learner. We have a lot to teach you, and you're excited to learn.
You're detail-oriented. Shipping something to Portland, Oregon instead of Portland, Maine is a pretty big deal.
You're comfortable with computers. Microsoft Office skills are important. Adobe Creative Suite experience gets you bonus points!
You're a team player. When the store gets busy, you jump in rather than suddenly developing an urgent need to reorganize the supply closet.
You're a problem solver. You look for solutions instead of immediately saying, "I don't know."You have a high school diploma or GED.You can lift 45+ pounds when needed.
You have retail or customer service experience (preferred).Most importantly: We can teach you how to ship a package. We can teach you how to operate a printer. But we can't teach you to care about people or take pride in your work. That's what we're really hiring for.
The Schedule (Yes, You'll Have to Work)
Approximately 30 hours per week
Typically five shifts per week, approximately six hours each
Weekend availability is REQUIRED, including Saturdays and occasional Sundays
No late-night shifts! We close at 6:30 PM Monday–Friday and 5:00 PM on weekends.
If you're looking for a Monday–Friday-only position, this probably isn't the one. We figured we'd tell you now rather than surprise you during the interview.

- BONUSES! Yes, we reward great performance!
- Employee discounts
- Company-provided uniform shirts, jackets, and ID tags
- A casual, creative, team-oriented work environment
- Training in shipping, printing, design, and other valuable skills
- Opportunities to learn and take on additional responsibilities
- A job where the days move quickly and no two days are exactly alike
- Our Expectations (The Important Stuff)
- We believe in a few simple things:
- Treat Every Customer Like They Matter. Because they do. Even the ones who arrive 30 seconds before closing.
- Educate, Don't Just Ring Up. Help customers understand their options and find the best solution.
- Show Up. On Time. Your teammates are counting on you. Your alarm clock is not a suggestion.
- Bring a Great Attitude. We all have challenging days. A positive attitude makes them better.
- Work Hard. If you're finished with your task, find something else that needs to be done. There is always something!
- Ready to Join Us?
If you're friendly, dependable, motivated, and enjoy working with people, WE WANT TO MEET YOU!If you're looking for a job where you can spend half your shift scrolling TikTok, hide whenever customers walk in, or consider arriving on time an optional activity... well, we wish you the very best in your future endeavors.
