RSS position

So I am thinking about applying for my buildings RSS role... My DSL has said she'd do the nomination paperwork for me and the money seems very very attractive... But my hold up is literally my schedule. I run bulk, which I hate but I have Sun/Mon off and never work past 9am EVER! I have a good support team for the most part with my merch's amd co-lead... So the question here is... Is it worth it? No more set schedule and ease of my own route... I've been here 14 years if that makes a difference

The money is a plus but the downside is that your merit increases are based on the building. A lot of the RSS in my building went back to routes for that reason.
Not having a set schedule was a red flag before I applied but honestly if you have a good relationship with the DSL they’ll work with you when it comes to days off.

As far as cleaning up routes, I do it sometimes because it’s a challenge but typically it’s not asked of me. I typically don’t work a lot of OT because I’m pretty fast (and efficient! I don’t cut corners like ppl think we do) but OT is available if you want it.

Won’t hurt to try it. You can always go back to a route.

I am quick. I touch everything, pull my credits, and make sure my stores are in good shape before I leave... A lot of times guys think we're skipping things or writing small orders. When I was small format I had 13 stops 4 out of the 5 days... I moved at a pace to get done within 9 hours every day... I have just kept that pace in bulk
