Pros

Company was previously entrepreneurial and growth oriented. Prior leadership in Division until about a year ago was good although tough but fair.

Cons

Company is being acquired by a French multi-national company. Expect near future layoffs across the nation. Heavy turnover in divisions executive staff over last year due to leadership that is more concerned about their own skins than being true leaders and growing the business. Division culture is a direct reflection of absentee president who blames region presidents versus taking ownership for his weak leadership and inaction to grow sales and guide regional leadership teams. Heavy turnover in HR department over last year. Prior HR knew the business and could be counted on to handle issues confidentially except for West Region HR team. New HR leadership in last year is perceived as sneaky, untrustworthy and inept.

Pros

Steady work with consistent OT. Pay is average. They employ a minimal number of drivers (and equipment) so you will definitely get your hours. If someone leaves, takes PTO, or a truck goes down, it gets spread across the remaining drivers.

Cons

Benefits are average at best. Most drivers are expected to work holidays. PTO is approved on seniority basis so don’t plan on being home with family during these times. No shortage of micromanagement. Definitely feel like a line item on a spreadsheet somewhere and not a human.
