Pros

They do have a lot of work, so you don't have to worry about getting hours

Cons

They talk about safety, but don't follow it. everything gets job hoped, they want you to sign for safety meetings you did not attend. Don't even think about profit sharing, the PCM gets the check and breaks it down as he pleases so you will only see $150 every quarter. This pace was more like a frat house then anything else, super clicks like high school. There are some cool other stores that I got a chance to visit where you can see the vibe is different so I can't dump on the company as a whole, but this yard was a difficult place to work. They should invest in management training, so the PCM can understand DOT regulations and how to be a good leader. Being a salesman and a manager are two different things.

Pros

company truck, company gas, expense account

Cons

Coercive Non-Competes: Instead of retaining talent through fair pay and competent leadership, management uses overreaching non-compete agreements to trap their workforce. Seeing colleagues like Zane bogged down by these heavy-handed tactics shows a fundamental lack of respect for employees' career mobility. Pervasive Micromanagement: Leadership insists on controlling minor details, bottlenecking progress and alienating competent employees. The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Instead of learning from mistakes, senior leaders consistently double down on poor decisions, driven by an unwillingness to admit fault. The Peter Principle in Action: The executive team suffers from an overinflated sense of their own acumen, which barely masks a fundamental lack of competence. People have clearly been promoted to their level of incompetence.
