[QUOTE="fightingthegoodfight, post: 1064164, member: 44819"] After being in 3 different centers (a 6 belt preload / a huge million peices a day overnight / and now at a 1 belt 15 man preload) this is what i can offer. A few questions: What shift is this for Preload or Outbound? How many people work in the center and how many people will you be supervising? How many other PT sups are going to be on with you? What is upper managment like? Working in a HUGE 24 hub loading semis in Central Jersey i can tell you PT sups got tossed around alot. They would come and go new faces all the time they would be transfered all over the building and pretty much be the bitch boy of their boss. But in a crazy huge hub things are already so hectic i barley noticed the supervisors. I think it would be physicaly harder but i would rather supervise outbound than preload. Now preload is a different game. You have to think these guys have been here for YEARS and im sure you dont even know the 8 and 5 keys yet. You def will have to earn respect deal with the steward who are out to get you and you FT sups bossing you around and union workers demanding things of you out of your hand. Small centers SUCK everyone is already so close everybody talks and managment can for sure overtake the union if no body steps up at union steward. Big center there are sooo many people soo many Sups and there are more people to handle things. But if your in it for a few years and you want a quick raise go for it. You can finish school and you might want to keep going up in the company. And if not then you go on with your life Good luck [/QUOTE]
