[QUOTE="bigbrownhen, post: 744471, member: 20495"] How long have you worked at UPS? I would suggest that you wait at least 6 mos and work through peak before going into management. I have always been full time at UPS and therefore have no experience with PT work. I can only add that I think the PT supervisor job is thankless. You get alot of grief from the drivers and pressure and negative feedback from the full time sups. If this is not the career of your choice then you have to decide how much you are willing to put up with to achieve your goals. Part time sups have access to tuition assistance and it looks good on resumes. It couldn't hurt on any future job applications actually. If you stay hourly, then you just sling the boxes and go home, with the union at your back if you ever need it. If you go into management, you are on your own if your job is in jeopardy. If you decide that management is not for you, then there is no reason that you couldn't get a 2nd job for the extra income you need at this time. Holding down two jobs would reflect positively on applications as well. Personally, I would never go into management, it's just not for me. I have enough to deal with in my life and don't need the additional stress. I have known some PT sups that have moved on to a career of their choice, the job was just a means to an end. I wish you the best of luck in your decision. [/QUOTE]
