Pros

Lots of hours if you wanted to work a lot. The dispatcher for residential was knowledgeable and very nice. There are a few really good employees there.

Cons

Our yard had 15 residential trucks, 5 of them were 16 years old! Our Ops manager was very disrespectful and almost seemed to have contempt for the drivers. He is quiet so it was subtle. Our residential supervisor had zero experience and hated his job. (In the 11 months since I left he has quit and so has the one that replace him) Things are so bad there that the Teamsters are currently trying to organize a union there.

Pros

We used to have to come in every morning and stay in the office for at least an hour, then go out into the field, come back at least an hour before 5pm and stay in the office. They changed it so we only have to come in in the morning and it's so much nicer.

Cons

I really didn't get along with the sales manager. On my first day, the manager who hired me announced he was leaving. About two weeks into my employment, the new sales manager wanted to make crazy changes to show his authority. It went downhill from there. He made major cutbacks and the things he kept where supposed to be thought of as gifts, such as bottled water.
