Pros

A majority of the people are pretty easy to work with. The hours aren't too bad, start at 7 and leave at 4.

Cons

Poor week long training before they throw you out there into a cutthroat call center environment. All management cared about was making sure you hit 2 hours of talk time, and don't care if you are an office sales leader or not. There is a big problem with other sales rep not following the rules of engagement where if you make a note in the management database they are not allowed to contact your potential customer under 30 days. This gets broken all the time where other reps will steal a customer you have been working and then when push comes to shove if the other rep earns more management will give that customer to the other rep. Monthly quota to hit after 6 months is 10k.

Pros

Schneider is a company of integrity. They will at times put themselves in a position to lose business in order to do things the right way. This is true through all parts of the company. Schneider has an incredible track record as a leader in safety and they spend a lot of time and effort to continue to lead their industry in that regard. The company has several different lines of business, so it is possible to experience different projects and objectives and grow in different ways. Most managers support working-from-home if the work permits. Schneider is very supportive of families and the community.

Cons

Schneider doesn't take developing their employees seriously. They require a development plan, but they do not put up the dollars or training necessary to truly invest in their employees. Any development is truly self-development. Schneider also lumps large numbers of employees into the same classifications. Therefore, promotions are few, far between, and usually very overdue. Leadership development is virtually non-existant. Leaders step into their roles completely unprepared. Some grow into the roles and some do not.

Pros

Once you show how much you will drive - and do it their way - the miles will come as long as the freight is there. I did the five live loads in LA in a day to go to Phoenix. Then from Phoenix to Miami. The office staff is willing to work with you. They know their drivers in the office. The mechanics take care of the equipment. Not the fastest shop. But light years better than Fontana, Gary and Atlanta. 2,700 miles per week is realistic. My norm was 12,500 per month.

Cons

Like any OTR job, time away from home. The pay is lower for starting out than when I started. But if you can show a good record after six months and then negotiate a higher wage than they offer, they will pay it. I raised my CPM by almost ten cents in a three year period. When it is slow for freight, it is really slow. So don't plan on always getting home on time. The food at various terminals is bad. The food prepared is cheap and sold at a premium like it was a truck stop and not a home away from home.
