[QUOTE="PTSUPBAYAREA, post: 231681"] I am a pt sup in california and trust me....you will be working harder as a sup. There will be times were 2 sets on the line will be open, and guess what? I would have to pull both sets (7 cars) and use my personal cellphone to call my FT-sup to inform her about it. So don't think when you get promoted you will be walking around the building taking it easy. I've been in a set for the last 2 weeks because our turnover rate is bad and too many no call/no shows. And the pay isn't that good either for what you have to deal with. Its a good job if you just want the benefits, but the benefits aren't as good as the hourly's and the hourly's get more vacation time then sups do. (Example: It takes a sup 5 years just to get a 3 week vacation/10 years to get 4 weeks.) But if you don't mind taking crap from everyone (everything rolls downhill), and loading different sets everyday, not getting invited to management parties because you're just "part-time". And getting blamed for the loaders having misroutes (as if pt sup's were the ones that caused it), Then go for it. I always tell my guys to try driving first. Because it's full time and they will actually get a good pay check. And if they hate driving and want to go into management...then do it. It's hell of a lot easier to become a full-time sup if you having driving experience. At least here it is. A loader I had went driving and after 90 days he was promoted to full-time sup...he passed me up fast. Just think about it....it's up to you and what you are willing to put up with. [/QUOTE]
