Pros

It's a paycheck and your not stuck in a office .

Cons

Where do I begin Very low pay for the amount of risk we take and hours we work . No Overtime after 40 thanks to the department of transportation classifying us as over the road truckers which means we get overtime after 50 hours. Typical work day is 10-12 hours a day . Equipment is sub par , trucks constantly breaking down. Hand trucks don't work , computer cradles don't charge. No a/c in the summer months wich means basically your riding around in a microwave all day . The trucks are death traps. No training , unless you seek it out yourself wich most of do at our own expense because it's our life that's on the line not management. Management has no leadership skills , no accountability for anything. No matter what happens its your fault!! No exceptions. Constantly threaten with termination , policies change on a hourly basis and you are provided no copies of what the new policies are. Just hands down worst company ever. OSHA and the Dept of labor need to investigate this place. So many violations . Messenger s get paid crap while tellers and rookies get basically whatever they want .

Good training. Not too demanding in the learning curve.

Not a whole lot of work where I live. Working out of town 1 day a week part-time with a long commute.

Pros

The role provides the opportunity to meet a diverse range of people, oversee multiple sites, and stay active throughout the day. The constant movement and variety help keep the work engaging and dynamic.

Cons

Supervisors are often overwhelmed by the number of accounts they are responsible for managing. They are required to conduct site checks within specific timeframes, regardless of the distance between locations, which can be challenging and time-consuming. Additionally, staffing shortages and heavy workloads can force supervisors to cover posts themselves when no one on the roster is available or willing to take an assignment, preventing them from completing other critical responsibilities. The company appears to follow federal law only to the extent necessary to avoid legal repercussions. As a member of the military reserves, I have observed that legally mandated rest periods following military duty are not always adequately considered by management when scheduling employees. This can create unnecessary fatigue and make it more difficult to balance military obligations with civilian work responsibilities.
