Old Dominion Freight reviews

Way too much overtime No raise in the last 2 years in my department The only way to get a raise is to increase your production speed with bills per hour. Good luck doing that when there are 2+ hours of overtime every single day and no added breaks or down-time to help out with all the extra work. You're expected to type just as fast at 4:30am as you were at 6 or 7 pm when your shift began. With no extra break. So, a massive increase in workload, and little ability to make more money. The company came right out and told us in 2019 that we made too much money and that raises are over for the foreseeable future. They want the best billers, work us ALL NIGHT, and want to pay less. If you're not getting a pay raise, you're getting a pay cut, that's how inflation works. They're fine with cutting pay while increasing hours at work and reducing our free time. You can make $23 an hour at Starbucks these days. A corporate job that requires 50+ hours a week of someone's work for a company making BILLIONS in profits is worth more than cups of coffee.

Everything else. Pay blows when you first get hired. Then you don’t get to full rate for 3 years doesn’t matter how much experience you have. Management is awful. They treat you like a slave. They will try to kill you to make you quit. The dispatching is literally the worst I’ve ever seen. They will route you 100 miles out of your way to get a pickup just to bring you back where you started from. Complete idiots. The good ol boys that have been there and kiss the supervisors, you know what, get everything they want. I absolutely hate working here. When winters over I’m gone. Anywhere is better than here. I sometimes think flipping burgers at McDonald’s would have been a better idea than working for these bozos. You’d be better off committing suicide if this is the only job you can find.
