[QUOTE="thaliloldsup, post: 3159751, member: 66773"] I recently got "promoted" to PT Supervisor from a package handler. Initially, I applied here with the intentions of just working through the end of the school year, but I've been here 9 months now and a spot opened up for a PT Sup, so I took it (It's really not [I]that[/I] bad.. yet). Yes, the work is mundane... frankly I'd say almost pointless, and I don't see a future with this specific job title. But, it's far easier physically, the pay is better, and I get benefits immediately now. Now that I've decided between a union or non-union career path, I'm curious to hear how long it takes to go from PT Sup to a FT Management position? I hear that some hubs might hire off the streets with a management degree/experience over a PT Sup, but in my hub specifically 90% of FT started as a Package Handler loading trailers as I (and a lot of us) did and went up the promotion ladder to get where they are today. If anyone has some real numbers on how long it took them or their coworkers to get a promotion to FT Management, I'd like to hear. Would also be interested in what you/they think of the job. I'm pretty young (can't even be a driver yet) so if its going to take multiple years to land a position, I may as well just forget about FT and start college now. [/QUOTE]
