Pros
Competitive Pay. Opportunity to be promoted and being able to move to either coast of the United States as well as jobs outside of the USA. I was currently promoted and the company moved me from Memphis ,TN to Denver Colorado. The company gave me a relocation package as well as moved all of my furniture and vehicle. The company has good benefits plus the option to buy Ford or Lincoln vehicles for a discounted price. Even though you are on Salary as a supervisor, you still get "Overtime". Whenever the employees you manage get overtime, you get to document that time and the company will compensate you depending on your salary broken down into a 40 hour pay check. For example- Salary - $85,000. $85,000/12 months=7,083.33/4weeks= $1,770.83/40 hours= $44.27 per hour; therefore, the company will pay you $44.27 for every overtime hour you document NOT time and a half.
Cons
Personally, I believe that the biggest con is the employees in the PS&L division (Warehousing supplying Dealers) are not on production or does not have a productive standard, but the supervisors have metrics to meet such as LMPH, GRID TIMES, DENIAL RATE, Inbound delivery time, etc. Some employees use this as a crutch to be "lazy" and find it okay to not fix their work assignemtns. You are not supposed to talk to Full time hourly employees about numbers or production. Some employees will ask for their union rep if you ask them about their performance. Another Con which I believe go hand and hand with the first con is working with the Union. Some comittee men are easier to work with than others, but some like to defend employees even when they are wrong. I understand it is their job to represent employees, but a real leader should correct an employee when they are in the wrong. "Work Free" environment. Employees do not have a set break time, nor do they get "breaks". Employees are able to "relieve" themselves as needed, but you know just as much as I that certain employees will take advantage of this. Some employees will carelessly take a "relief" when it is crunch time to close out a route.
