South Gate, CA (US)

Current Employee – been working at J.B. Hunt full-time

ProsFriendly environment, salary is competitive, access to industry leading tools.

ConsEmployee manager lacks ability to be a leader, allows other junior employees to control and manipulate company rules and policy's. Good ole' boy network is obvious to the point that senior managers have given up. Moral is very low among managers.

Advice to Senior ManagementStand up and take charge. The same mistakes are repeated day after day. The same employee's continue with same daily company violations. You have the policies in place to change these things, time to take charge and do your job as SR Manager. Manage your fleet managers.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Former Employee – worked at J.B. Hunt full-time for more than a year

Prosgreat company, good pay rate, friendly staff who is very helpful for drivers

Conssome drivers seem to get more miles and the owner/operators get preference over company drivers from what I saw. Company drivers do a lot of sitting and waiting for loads. Load miles too short, Not many loads over 250 miles. That is J B Hunt way of doing business. They take the short loads no other company wants and they are making money. It is just not great for a driver! Mostdrivers like

Advice to Senior ManagementMaybe they can look at getting more long mile loads. Things may have changed since I was there.

Current Employee – been working at J.B. Hunt full-time for more than a year

ProsCatered lunches at $5.00. Exercise equipment, locker rooms. Nice walking/running track and healthy living programs coordinated by HR.

ConsExtremely stressful. Mediocre pay for the work done. Very small raises. Bonuses always seem to end up being lower than projected due to something lowering our EPS (like payouts to retirees).

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
