Pros

Phenomenal Benefits! Boise has nailed the work life balance down for its employees. I worked 7 wonderful years with the Chicago Branch, not that it was all perfect everyone has bad days! The only reason I left this company was the commute from the Chicago suburbs to the branch location (nowhere near Chicago) was getting to be too much. Excellent 401k, Excellent Time off program, profit sharing, paternity leave for fathers, decent health insurance plans, FSA with company match, lucrative profit sharing plan, free short term disability.... plenty of other perks! Give this company a shot you’ll enjoy the extra time you get with your families! Safety program that is well designed and rewards you for being safe!

Cons

Perhaps this is localized... but, there is a clear disconnect between sales and OPS without a “real” effort to try and correct it. Technology seems to be average at best.... Salary for Frieght Specialist is not competitive with the current Market
