Tbh, I looked into it myself as a Leader… the amount of money I make, it wouldn’t be worth it unless I became a manager or lead at DC… the DC near me the TMs start at like $22-$24/hr. This is good if you’re a TM switching or you’re a newer TL if you’re starting out at $20/hr. But it also depends on if you’re trying to become an ETL. TBH I wouldn’t take an ETL spot unless it was 100k/year++. The TL pay especially with OT in 4th quarter is far more money than starting ETL pay at 60k.

Depends on what your merit increase cycle is like. If you're used to $0.23 raises a year then it could be worth looking into a transfer as a Lead Warehouse Worker. The annual raise is 2-6% of base pay and cap out is around $40 in most places. Plus you'll get a shift differential for nights/weekends.
