[QUOTE="elo, post: 1265524, member: 50549"] I will be honest it is incredibly stressful. I took the job coming from a small business bookkeeping position. It's not something I see myself doing in 10 years, but it works for me & my family right now. I took the job as a choice, not as a need. That being said I love it. I've got a BS in Agbusiness and don't plan on returning to school, but I wanted to experience working for a large corporation. If I do at some point decide a ft position is necessary this will at least be a resume builder. That's just irrelevant me info though. I would be cautious as to which sup position I was taking. I see how our reload sup gets treated and it floors me. I'm in the office I communicate with the drivers, customers, and ft management on a daily basis. I monitor misloads, coordinate how those can make service, and try to get everyone's air in on time. Then I spend the rest of my night checking time cards, printing reports, and hunting down packages with exception scans on them that didn't make it to the clerk. I don't hear a whole lot from the ft sups, but that's how I like it. The poor reload sups are constantly getting hammered on flow rate and sealing on time (I would love to elaborate on this one, but can't w/o throwing someone under the bus.) If it's not our center manager coming down on him it's one of the feeder hubs throwing a fit. It's not an easy job, but it can be a great learning experience. As for preload, I'm clueless. No one wants me there before noon. [/QUOTE]
