Pros

There are NONE with the management team that they have assembled.

Cons

This Company is so cheap when it comes to rental clerks that work the rental desk and the hikers that transport their trucks to all the different locations. The name of the game to move off of the rental desk is "WHO YOU KNOW", not "WHAT YOU KNOW". The management team that they have in place in the Western Pittsburgh Area are some are the stupidest people that I have ever encountered. ( I was working as a HIKER at part-time hours for next to nothing without ANY desires of moving up any ones ladder and I was the SHOP STEWARD so I got to see and deal with all the IDIOTS that were in management including the head man) . It is really pathetic to see what their ideal idiots are made into management, they would and have had problems managing to stay out of their own way. It does not get any better when you deal with the idiots in the home base of READING, PA. I hope Roger is happy with his choice of which way he is going down the road with this division. Give it time with these buck passers in charge, it is only a matter of time before you meet the brick wall at the end.

Pros

Great Pay! Great Manager! Hope we can keep this one around!!!

Cons

Lack of Training High Stress Job for Management and drivers. Safety Team is more combative than supportive...3 paper cuts in a 36 month period, will probably get you fired. I watch my manager stress as he try to keep everyone encouraged, but all he get is grief.

Pros

Excellent training and you'll learn a lot about logistics/transportation. Good team of workers who are willing to work hard

Cons

At times your days can be long and you're a salary employee so you don't get paid overtime. Also you are NEVER allowed to have a friendly conversation during work hours...even if it isn't busy!
