[QUOTE="trixie, post: 988151, member: 19175"] I haven't been in this conversation before but it's a mistake to go into management. It is a thankless job, IE makes ALL the decisions about routes and how many go in each day. The center team isn't allowed to make their own decisions. I've been PT management for 26 years and have been in IE, HR, and 3 diff centers and it's all the same. No one EVER makes their kids' games, recitals or whatever. Doesn't matter if you're driver or management. That's why I stayed PT. Now the new thing is if you're at the top of your salary range (which you will be if they give you credit for your driving years) you will NEVER get a pay raise. I'm there now. But don't worry, your benefits will go up every year. You will work at least 60 hours a week. You won't be sitting in an a/c office. On cars have to be on the road. Get it, "on car?" There won't ever be a day when you can complete all your work. There isnt enough staff for that but that's still no excuse not to get it done. Nothing, NOTHING, makes upper management satisfied. I'm not a bitter employee, just one smart enough to know not to step from the frying pan into the fire. Please don't do it. It truly is not the cushy job you've been lead to believe it is. Stay a driver. Benefits and retirement are much better. You can retire earlier. We have to wait until 55 and I've heard they're pushing it back. This would be a huge mistake. If you truly don't need the money go find an 8 to 5 job somewhere else. UPS will never be that. Ever. No matter what they tell you it isn't true. I know. I've been in large centers and small centers. A small center is like winning the UPS job lottery and my on car is still here late all the time because he has to be if the drivers are. It sucks. Don't do it. It's truly not what they've told you it is. [/QUOTE]
