Pros

The only good thing was it was really close to my house

Cons

They pay as a mechanic was lower than some one that sit and just answered a phone no one is really on the same page most of the drivers would be right at home with swift because they're so terrible upper management could care less about anything other than what makes them look good they did not keep up their end of the deal with helping with tools no 90 day raise even though I pretty much ran 3 Rd shift by myself literally I was the only guy there very vague training on how they wanted things done

Pros

Amazing benefits and opportunities to buy stock per month. Transferring to different locations and states is very easy after 6 months to a year of employment. Training paid for on an annual basis.

Cons

None at this time of entry.

Pros

You can make money but it all depends on the orders you get, how fast you can go, how long you can maintain that pace without getting burned out. Definitely a young mans sport, as the do refer to you as "industrial athletes."

Cons

Like many industries the hours can be long. For the ones who don't make much on running above rate then you can make up for it in hours. If you soak the hours and run you can definitely make some big money. The turn over rate is extremely high there, even in management. I used to be proud of the union but the teamsters in Cleveland are completely worthless, I would bet they are getting paid under the table to not fight for contract negotiations. When I was there the contract expired and they barely fought for anything, on voting day they literally said they wont back us up if we don't pass this contract....so consider that when you want to work for this place. Also the equipment is so old and broken that people were taking the scanners home just so they could have a good one for the next night.
