Graphic Design in a Retail Environment

Pros

Learned many new skills and met a few wonderful people. This job is interesting and challenging. Good entry level job if you want to get into printing and graphic design. If you're already a designer, it's a great place to meet new clients and hone your skills.

Cons

Busy and physically demanding. Most of the customers have no idea how packing and shipping works, and think it's supposed to be as cheap as the post office. Customers can get downright nasty for little to no good reason, ie. explaining to them that their package has a FedEx drop off label and we can't take it, or trying to explain to someone how an address label does not entitle them to free shipping, and having them scream at you for it. If you are a graphics/document services person, expect to be interrupted every 90 seconds while you try to design someone's business cards, flyers, banners, etc. Retail burnout happens quick here... and TUPPS is a franchise so expect low pay and no benefits.

Pros

The fact that all UPS Stores are privately franchised offers a unique opportunity to identify with other local small business owners.

Cons

Unfortunately a comparison between The UPS Store and FedEx Office offers a painfully obvious view of how slow the overall progression has been within The UPS Store community. Equipment, employees, and general services available are lacking at 9 out of 10 locations.

Pros

For me the absence of ladder climbers :0) It's a small work place with maybe 2 or 3 employees. The hours are good, it's hard to find a retail job were you don't have to work late nights. and for me no weekends. Plus I really enjoy the interaction with my customers. would be a great job for college kids, mostly part time.

Cons

no real advancement , a lot of running and multi tasking, there 's a lot of different thing that the stores do, it's not just shipping, there's your mail-room, and then corporate accounts, which sometimes you feel like you were given a job but no one told you what to do LOL But I still Love my job ;0)
