Pros

Many diverse parts to the job which can be strategically emphasized if/when looking for employment elsewhere. Gain experience in customer service, multi-tasking, time management and operating office equipment. Likely to obtain Fingerprint Rolling Certification and/or become a Notary Public. Depending on your boss and so long as you are actively seeking knowledge, you can learn a lot about entrepreneurship, have ample opportunity for growth, and cultivate valuable and rewarding relationships with local residents and businesses.

Cons

Because UPS has a lot of relationships with various retailers, customers can be demanding and expect you to know everything about every company, especially when it comes to returns. The UPS Store and UPS Corporate are separate entities, a difficult concept to have to explain when people have certain questions about deliveries. Some franchise owners can be cheap, which affects your hours, pay, and workload.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Pros

Each store was franchised, so everyone's experience may be different, but I loved the store I worked at.

Cons

The Amazon return customers can be frustrating, and management had a very "customer is always right" attitude.
