[QUOTE="sortaisle, post: 423826, member: 17605"] Don't do it for the money unless you think you can go into full time management. You really have to sell some BS as a manager or supervisor. Not all sups and managers are jerks, but you really do have to be firm and believe that your idea of life consists of letting your district managers and IE tell you what's best for your center. Now unless you're in the center where they are out of, understand that they have probably never been to your building, won't know it's nuances, and probably won't care about reality. If it works in one building, it works in them all is the general thought process. If your comfortable with getting yelled at from the top and bottom and are comfortable with regurgitating what your full time sup tells you to do then be my guest. I have worked with lots of really good sups and managers in my 12 years as a UPSer. But I also believe that I've been blessed to work where I have worked. Some buildings have earn and learn, others don't. If you plan on going to school and are just using ups as a stepping stone to move on in your career, then you could do little better anywhere else. If you just need something for in the mean time, stay part time get the benefits and grab a 2nd pt job until you go full time. Don't do it for the money, it's short term benefit long term misery.
