      Pros

      You have your schedule for an entire year in advance.

      Cons

      For drivers, constantly rotating schedule. This results in never getting g used to your sleep schedule. Not being well rested results in a dangerous work environment. Too many chiefs is a review I would like to agree with. The employee safety is not a priority. They do not respect proper breaks. Two ten minutes and a twenty minute lunch...all while working a constantly rotating schedule. Every two weeks you switch from days to nights. It doesn't make sense. The employees have made this clear. However, no changes.

      Pros

      Local team great.

      Cons

      Senior management lacks necessary skills and business judgement in several key areas. Focus on safety is based on meeting metrics for STIP, not on instilling a safety ethic in employees. The business matrix that has been created operates to create and reinforce silos, pitting employees against one another and muddling business focus. Borders on unethical -- some safety metrics are fabricated, some strength-to-strength numbers, if ever audited, would be found to fall short of accurate. Emphasis on people is largely a PR effort. Local budgets cut while CEO and senior leaders fly off to places like Singapore for "meetings" which could be handled via conference calls.
