Graphic Designer - Graphic Designer The UPS Store Employee Review

It's a job. More pleasant and cleaner than fast food for what it's worth. Small business environment (since most stores are franchised) may either be a blessing or a nightmare depending on the owner(s) and management.

Extremely hectic and high-pressure work environments. Job responsibilities are more or less everything to do in such stores. Experience can vary wildly by franchise management. Arguably greater work stress and responsibility than comparable retail jobs for significantly less pay.

They were willing to grow my skills and teach me a decent amount about all things print. They reliably gave me 40 hours of work. Day to day was mostly self managed, so they trusted you if you were competent.

Ownership was incredibly cheap. I was promised raises as print expanded, that was certainly not the case and when i brought that up I already knew what the answer would be. I had to beg for an upgrade to our print facilities that only came at the expense of losing an assistant to help with print. Overall ownership lacked willingness to spend money to make money. Despite losing an assistant I received no raise and workload only continued to get piled on as other aspects of print got given to me until I was essentially a one man team.
