I'm already aware of some of the cons. Just would like to know some of the good? Also, how does the insurance work? I've heard there are different packages. Anybody have a number on some of those packages? I'd appreciate it if we don't get off topic and just answer my questions.
As far as insurance, there are basically two medical packages, a higher cost low deductible plan and a lower cost high deductible plan. For each plan the costs varies depending on who is being insured, is it just the employee? the employee and spouse?, the employee and kid(s), the employee, spouse and kids? Also, when you select insurance you get choices for eye care, dental, LT disability etc etc. So 10 different PT supvs could easily have 10 different dollar amounts based on what they choose for insurance options. The medical for non union as of last year does NOT cover a spouse if that spouse has insurance available to them at their job. (Even if their insurance is expensive, or even if their insurance is not good).
For the good: A lot depends on what you want to do with your career. Do you wan to be a FT UPS driver? If so, do not go PT supv. If you wish to have a career, the PT supv job is impressive on a resume. Continuing on at UPS is a bit trickier. Some managers do right by their people and try to get them promoted (if they want it). Others don't want to lose a valuable employee and don't promote them. I'd t/w the PT supvs you know. See what their opinion is. However, keep in mind, the center manager that you may like or dislike, can easily be replaced in a short time.
