Ok, im seriously stumped here, have till Monday Morning to make my decision, and needs yalls input and advice please. A month ago I was offered a position with FEDEX Express, as a Courier, am currently in Courier training, and will start my route in 2 months. Yesterday I was called by Hertz and offered a Station Manager position at a local airport here, and am stumped as to which to take--here are the specs on each--
FEDEX- Courier, $14/hr to start, part-time, shift is M-F, no weekends, 3pm-9pm. Commute is 30 mins each way, had to sign a 2 year contract stating id stay at this location for the next two years as a courier. They have a Management program, takes 2-3 years to get on as a Manager and Managers start between $45k-$50k. Managers work 12 hour shifts M-F. Work is pretty physical, outdoors, and in traffic daily. Takes 6 months to land a full-time position.
HERTZ- Station Manager Position. $32,000 Salary to start, company car, being a new manager they said id get the suckiest hours/shifts to start--nights and weekends. Appears to be upward mobility potential, said you could be a Senior Mgr ($38-44k) within a year if you are good, and a City Mgr($65-$75l) in 4-5 years if you are willing to move. Commute is 10 mins every day.(They did say on average you will work 50 hours a week)
Here is what I want to do--Get into Management, and work my way up. I am having the hardest time deciding which company to go to work for. FEDEX is alot bigger company, so there are alot more openings all over the USA, but last year they did layoff/offer early retirement to over 250 Managers across the US--so that did concern me a little. Both companies offer me full benefits right off the bat, with FEDEX's being better than Hertz's. At Hertz Id help manage 100 employees, at Fedex, each station has about 40-50 employees. I just cant figure out which would be the better company to work for, which company offers the best opportunities for upward movement career wise, and need yalls input. Please let me know which you would take and why
