Pros

None. There was a constant blame game going on. This is a Mickey Mouse club of professionals throughout the entire organization.

Cons

Ambiguity, no communication, unrealistic expectations, no training, no camaraderie, large work load with stress full consequences.

Truck driver - yard switcher/yard jockey

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The two things I like about my position as a "Truck Driver - Yard Switcher/Yard Jockey" is the schedule which is 3 on/4 off and 4 on/3 off rotation, working 12 hour shifts. Then the pay, for my position, I am without a doubt one of the highest paid hostlers in my area, especially when going rates are much, much lower.

Cons

There is a lack of communication as well as organization on the account I work. Training is non-existent, there's allot to how the yard functions and a process in how things are done. To a new guy this is daunting and can be a difficult position to grasp if not properly trained.
