Pros

Not any pros for experienced drivers. Good company for students or newbies though.

Cons

You have to examine your paystubs every week to make sure they paid you for everything, then you have to chase your pay and you get the runaround, I'm still trying to get paid for a 196 mile empty move and that was from August 26th and today is October 11th, 2016. The dispatchers treat you like dirt, at least mine does and I've only talked to him twice, both times about missing pay. They do not appreciate having a driver with 17 years experience who stays out for 2 - 3 months at a time and only takes 7 days off then goes back out. This is mainly a meat grinder training company that hires students and newbies, sure they have some of their long time employees, but not very many, and most of them have never worked anywhere else to know the difference. No respect, no appreciation, and if you want to earn more than $1000 a week stay away from Covenant, and don't believe the $1000 a week minimum pay propaganda because if they do have to chip in they take it back the very next week so it is just a payday loan. If you want to run solo you wont get any miles, they will starve you out until you team up. Hazmat teams get solo runs too because they do not have any solo drivers. You will be just a number here at Covenant, and they wont ever know your name. I been here 11 months and have never been called by name until after I have given them my driver number.

Pros

Great salary for an entry level position.

Cons

Co workers and immediate managers are great. Upper level, higher ups, are sadly out of touch. Company policy is short sighted and reactionary.

Pros

The people that work there are fantastic - as far as other fleet managers, CSR's, planners - their funny and awesome personalities helped lighten the stress many of my days! The pay was decent with good benefits.

Cons

You do not get training. Their way of training is sitting you with people, that aren't certified to train at Covenant, and it's sink or swim from there. The company says they pride themselves on being a Christian company. Well, let me tell you something. That's the LAST thing I experienced in my time there. They do not give a rip about their employees. They overwork their employees. They will write you up for things that either 1) you've never been train on or 2) never been talked to about to know it's an issue. In my little over a year there, and this is not an exaggeration - in fact i'm probably not even counting all of them - I watched more than 12 humans either get fired or walk out. I watched 4 Leads be Demoted. I watched new people come in for training at LEAST 2 times a month. Then the company will turn around and preach to you about how we need to fix driver turnover. CLEARLY, while driver turnover is an issue, your IN HOUSE turnover is also an issue that needs some serious focus on. Not to mention, the title as a Fleet Manager might as well be "Glorified Secretary." That's what you are. They don't let you manage. They micro-manage you and every decision you make. There's no upward movement. Do not waste your time, unless you are desperate. The Leads are not Professional.
