[QUOTE="sillyputty, post: 92232, member: 16481"] I certainly wouldn't become a P/T sup...but I can see how some would. At our center, they get the tuition help. That's about the only reason I would do it (and management experience). I'm done with college though and the reload job I had throughout college was just fine by me. I don't know how it goes anywhere else, but at night we have one friend/t and 5 or 6 p/t sups. I'm not even reall sure. Why not? Because most of thm have only been working there for less than a year. All of them became supervisors within 3-6 months of being hired. They all complain because they have to work so much, their pay is so screwy that the newest supervisor is making more than the one who runs the sort when the friend/t sup is gone and has been there a few years. They get yelled at by their bosses and they get whined to/yelled at by the people they supervise. Most are about 19 years old and a few of them try to come in and demand respect from people who've been working there since they were in elementary school. Many freak out and can't handle stress very well. But no one wants to be a supervisor so generally that have to take what they can get. Not only that, after 6.5 years I have 4 weeks of vacation. The Revenue Recovery sup has been there close to 6 years and only has 2 weeks. I'll stick with my position (until I can get a job using my degree!). [/QUOTE]
