promotion at my job?

SnakeEyeSS · April 27, 2004

First off, remember I'm 18, in H.S..

not much more pizza driving? well, not that my car saw much of it anyway. My dad let me use the "errand-runner" of the family form most the pizza duty(94 Sentra). So my BMW saw less city drving that you east coast guys, maybe an average of 35 pizza miles a week.

BUT, I just got an offer to be a shift manager at another store. but here is the delimma:

NOW:

mostly all delivery driving

base pay: 5.50/hr

after tips, etc:

avg 10.0/hr weekdays, 11.50/hr weekends

If I take it:

occasional driving(when we are short handed, in a rush, or just occasionally)

base pay: 7.00/hr(plus tips, etc whenever I do drive)

more hours

So basically, if I take it, I'll take a bit of a paycut, unless I'm driving then my tips&base average will go up 1.50 an hour

base pay, BUT no more chance of "pizzaing" the Bimmer. Plus, I'd have managorial experience. I'm thinking I'll go for it.

I don't have a chance of searching for a non-driving job until July(b/c of the trip to Indy), and I'm out of school May 20, so this would hold me over if I didn't like it, instead of driving full-time for 1.5+ months.

I've always thought that if you ever get a chance to manage people....you should take it.

It definitely would look good on paper for any future career moves

I'd explain the decision to the manager that offered you the job just the way you explained it here. To hear an 18 yr old student think like you have shown here shows alot of maturity. I think you may be able to get maybe another 50 cents or so. If not, you tried. Either way I'd take the oppertunity. BTW everyone hates the manager. JK

I've always thought that if you ever get a chance to manage people....you should take it.

I did that for two years in 2001 and 2002 when I worked for ValleyFair in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) as a Team Leader. The experience that I gained there will most likely last me a lifetime. Not to mention working with and being around a bunch of hot foreign chicks who know a limited amount of English and looked up to me to "guide" them.

Seriously though, you should take the promo.

I just received the folling advice from a Bimmer board.

well considering i am in the same dilema(trying to get a geo storm running to prevent pizza miles on the bimmer) i believe myself to be an expert in this field, i have driven, been a shift lead, even a GM in the pizza biz, nothing is better than delivery, every other job in the pizza industry sucks, get a pos car to drive to save the bimmer and stay on the road, you will regret moving into pizza management

I guess I should take this, then in July, maybe try to get that job seeling cars?
