Pros

Easy job. Vehicle Inspection, strap flat bed, role and dump if Class B truck, unload with forklift if flatbed trailer. Pay is bottom, promise OT, but not consistent.

Cons

Don’t pay enough to take advantage of their “benefits”. Low hourly wages with promise of OT not guaranteed or consistent. Does not comply with Safety Standards. Safety is a thought not the rule. Utilize snitches to evaluate performance. Most mgrs and supers have never done the work and imply they know best. Keep employees with negative issues and dismiss others with same issues.

Pros

BFS is a leader in its industry. They offer opportunities to learn aspects of the business that you cannot get at many other companies. If you work hard and are good at your job, as a general rule, you will move up. Compensation is generally fair.

Cons

In some departments, an associate's ability to be successful is limited by poor management of his/her superiors. Benefits are not competitive.
