Pros

Steady Work, Good Benefits, Weekly Paychecks, Competitive Pay, Small Office Environment. Position was pretty much a head down data entry job - could listen to music throughout shift.

Cons

Over Emphasis on Production - Every second of your shift must be accounted for. Long Irregular Hours - End time varied every day. Not Much Potential For Job Advancement.

Business Outlook

Pros

I have spent several years in the Transportation industry as an Account Manager with UPS Freight and Saia. I made the decision that I no longer wanted to represent corporations that have lost site of the most important aspect of being successful, which is the customer and the employees.. Dayton Freight has instilled a culture within that continues to evolve as a leader in the industry whether it be through technology or their people internally. Benefits for Full Time employee's seem to be very competitive.

Cons

Provide some type of benefits to part time people
