[QUOTE="Rubber Puckies, post: 1319479, member: 51619"] I'm a part time supervisor and I would say the decision is great, assuming you have no aspiration of being a driver and want to the company as either a stepping stone to your future career, or stay with UPS. The only issue is that you will not receive any formal training of the duties you need to fulfill, and you'll need to learn on the spot, usually when some salty union employee is in your face. You'll need to be able to let the small things go, even when the people above you make it a big deal, and to continue to learn and understand the operation as quickly as possible. I drove through peak and have very minimal training in all of the positions in our facility, and it becomes difficult when making a decision in an area I don't know very well. The best advice I can give to you is to keep your ears open, learn from the employees that have been there for a while, treat all with respect, but don't be a pushover. Though you are "in charge", your employees performance will either make or break you. Union employees cannot be terminated for performance, assuming they are following the methods, you can be terminated based solely on your performance. [/QUOTE]
