Pros

Seems like it would be a great company to work for.

Cons

Seems that most new hires get let go before the 90 days grace period. They leave you hanging if there is a mishap and they do not let you review the video, before you are let go. They say there is a reason, but the reason I was let go I feel was unjust, as no one was hurt. Many things have happen worse than what happened with me and they still work there. It's my opinion they let people go before the 90 days, as they do not want to pay insurance. According to workers on the dock many have been let go before the 90 days is up; it's a revolving door.

LTL Driver

Pros

Saia's not really a bad place to be a Driver (Ltl.) I've been there for a few years, and I know a lot of drivers at other companies that have it a lot worse. Mechanics seem to get things repaired in a timely fashion. I dont feel overloaded with deliveries or pick ups. (Just enough.) Equipment is good. Much better than when I started. Most Coworkers are good people. I see many of the drivers really care about what theyre doing. T.M. seems like a fair guy. Doesn't leave us in the dark. All in all, good place to driver for.

Cons

Never really sure when your day is done. Personally, Id like to have a more set start and end time! (SOME of the supervisors are a bit cocky) Remember, it's about us as a team. Not you against me.

Terrible Company

Pros

The pay is good, thats about it. Ive been a employee here for 1 year and the first few months were okay but after that my experience has been terrible.

Cons

The supervisors cuss and yell at you over the dumbest things. They want you to take a photo of every piece of freight and mark it damaged even if there is nothing wrong with it, but then get mad when production is down. When you try standing up for yourself when you are being yelled at you are just sent home.
