Old Dominion Freight Reviews

Pros

In the beginning stages of the 2 week training period, you feel welcomed, not pressured, appreciated and have a sense that management cares about their employees. However, things change for the worst once you go live (typically starting the 3rd week). You are given a talk, to provide expectations of speed weekly, with zero errors. The problem is, you are NOT given the chance, opportunity nor time to actually reach that goal. Instead, the night time higher up only cares about numbers and expects you to already be at 21+ bills per hour, prior to you even going live. Not to mention, that person not taking into consideration the different learning curve(s) that everyone has. It's a do as I say or you're gone type of environment. I've heard so many good things about this company in the beginning. However, it clearly was not about the data entry department. Suggestion: Instead of treating people like they are expendable, robots and not allowed to make mistakes....treat them like human beings and actually give people a chance. You might be surprised at the decrease of people who leave and increase in those who stay. As well as staff encouraging others to apply.

Any breakdown is a inconvenience but I think that their road rescue department could step up the response time

Pros

Pay was great, but newest upper management has not stayed competitive in wages and now drivers are leaving in droves.

Cons

Don't get injured on the job, if you go out for medical leave you have to jump through tons of hoopes after doctor releases you back to full time no restrictions have to do another DOT physical even if you just had it done before injury. And also have a physical ability test taken because they don't trust your professional Doctor.
