Pros

The company does a great job selecting their employees, so that allows for good atmosphere, loved the people I worked with, they all help each other out. I believe it has to do with the selection and not that they're happy there. Good benefits .

Cons

The pay is awful! They have a system to pay their drivers that it's just confusing (how convenient) you work really hard for what you make...example: you would have 39 pallets (double stacked) in one trailer, you have 3-5 stops, these 39 pallets brake into 120-150 pallets. A lumper service wouldn't touch that load for less than $750.00 ( I asked ) the company would pay me $110.00 or so plus .30 per mile, which by the way you can only drive around 1000 to 1500 miles due to spending 8-10 hours at the docks unloading. So the benefits I mentioned above, they're great but in the end the employee pays for them by being compensated what's fair. They brag about being one of the riches family own companies in the nation, but what does that mean for the employee?
