[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 1050718, member: 4886"] I started at UPS while in college, and when I graduated was able to go out on road for 9 months with the intention of coming in as FT mgmt. (That was 20+ years ago). Granted there are a lot of differences now, then when I started. There are some good things about staying a FT driver. The pay is good, the benefits are better then mgmt, they also have more of a safety net with the union protecting them. However, there isn't a lot of reward for doing a really good job and knowing that in 30+ years you will still be making the same as another person who may not quite try or work as hard as you. At the same time, when it is quitting time, you can go home and not worry about what is left to do. With management it is what you make of it. The growth years are gone, the chances for promotion aren't what it used to be. However, even if you decide that UPS mgmt isn't for you, having UPS mgmt on your resume is still impressive to other companies and it will help to open doors for you. I know of many companies that actively recruit current UPS management folks. Many have left for jobs with less stress and similar or more pay. In any event, do the following, (it doesn't matter if you stay at UPS or leave do this).. Do what you say you are going to do, do your job to the best of your ability, admit when you make a mistake, never stop trying to improve yourself, take care of the people who work for you and they will take care of you, be honest.
