Pros

Great pay and benefits! The equipment that is uses is top-notch!. This company also has a Employee Maintenance Center that provides health assessments and occupational therapy as part of those benefits.

Cons

A lot of employees with little space to move around, at times, but there are facility upgrades coming soon! If you are starting out as a driver, you may be stuck with long splits during your work day.
