Pros
I joined The UPS Store as a graphic designer, and quickly moved up into the managerial role. It was a great way to get my foot in the door and build up my portfolio while also learning basic business management skills. It is also a great way to form connections with other local small businesses. This is definitely a job you can use to your advantage if you can do it right.
Cons
Not a great long-term commitment. Because the stores are all franchised there isn't a whole lot of area for upward growth (or raises) if your store is small. Also, much of your time is spent on the phone with customers who think they are calling UPS, unfortunately in the branding The UPS Store does not distinct itself as separate from UPS, causing confusion in customers who are trying to get help with their packages in the UPS system.
