Pros

good compensation, easy job, great hours

Cons

small office staff ( my branch only had 6 people), had to bring in people for training ( that rushed to leave ), new drivers are expected to be able to take on the full job from day one no matter what they have done before, getting equipment fixed is like pulling teeth, trucks do not work for job expected ( either too big, or not able to go where needed ), just like a construction job over the winter, have to do odd jobs to make hours

Pros

Once upon a time, I enjoyed it.

Cons

New CEO took over. He’s pretty out of touch. My former colleagues call me and ask me return on a weekly basis still because it’s going poorly for them. They constantly make business decisions that counter organic growth. Probably because the motivator is not organic growth. Sales are treated like call center employees and there’s a ton of hate from the WS/ MM merger that wasn’t dealt with. It is definitely an ivory tower. You’re inside of it or you are not. If you’re liked, you can do whatever you want. As long as it looks like you’re committed to the group. This means that you can’t share a dissenting opinion though. Two of the worst three managers I have ever seen were there. They target individuals who don’t go be them the metrics they want in safety or performance. HR’s goal is to protect the company. Share nothing with them, ever.
