It appears that the main pay is around the late teens to early twenties mark. We all do it for the enjoyment of working in a department that changes by the day and by situation, no two days will ever be the same, whether it be due to weather / technical disruption or sorting out the crews lost hats and car keys. It does make me wonder, what is after Ops, where do we go? What are peoples aspirations? Do we stay in the job hoping for promotion into the that position of Ops Manager or remain at that glorified lost property position?
I myself have worked in Ops for over 10 years, working my way up from an assitants level to that of a Duty Manager, but what and where i go from now is a mystery
