[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1681692, member: 43436"] If you do a search, you'll find an infinite number of threads on this topic. In general: PRO: o significant increase in wage - some relatively new employees report starting near $18/hour o pay is based on 27.5 hours per week o $5K in tuition reimbursement per year (TAX FREE) [a handful of locations extended this benefit to hourly employees as well] o UPS rarely fires PT sups, even ones with habitual behavior/attendance problems; at worst, they'll transfer you to another facility o will retain Company Seniority if you're studying/pursing professional positions CONS: o must pay for insurance; cannot insure "better half" if he/she is eligible for benefits elsewhere [NOTE: you don't pay federal, state or local taxes on your co-premium, so depending on your taxable income, it could be a wash with union dues] o raises are inferior to hourlys', so if you plan to stay here long enough, eventually they'll pass you in wage o much tougher to get into FT driving o inferior salaries if moving into FT supervisor, since it's based on your current pay Another possible con is that your FT manager will make you work in excess of 27.5 hours per week without OT... however, from my observations, it usually evens it except for those PT supervisors who WILLING do it because they think it'll get them a FT job. Ultimately, if you only plan to work a UPS a few years (e.g. you're in school), PT supervisor is a great job and looks wonderful on a resume. If you're seeking to retire from UPS, it's not the job for you... and HR will tell you so, anyway. Don't get your hopes up, dude.... judging by the verbage, I'd bet on a same-sex relationship...
