As a CSS in DCA, most of us make more than a topped out shift manger. Even with the pay cuts we do better. They wind up working 12 hour days with none of the flexibility and none of the extra pay. A little ot puts our pay way above theirs. I personally make more than any shift manager in DCA and probably as much as our department Managers. This s the only place I know where you make less money with a "promotion". This is a job for someone who wants a title and not pay.
